Pettitte vs. Halladay vs. Ryan
Here you go. Have at it.
My 2 cents...
Pettitte doesn't hold a flame to the other 2. His legacy will always be tainted by his PED usage, and his W/L record was inflated by the teams he played on. He posted a 4+ ERA in 9 of his 18 seasons. He posted above a 3.50 ERA in an additional 4 seasons.
By comparison, Halladay only posted a 3.50+ ERA 6 times, 2 of which were anomalies in 2000 (10.64; also only his 2nd full season in the big leagues) and 2013 (6.82; his last season).
Ryan is an entirely different animal, holding records that will probably never be broken.
Halladay was one of the best pitchers I've ever seen.
