His peak has nothing to do with that. It's just about the problem with llining up who was the "best" based only on lifetime WAR total.
Would you say that Phil Niekro's career should be considered superior to Bob Gibson or Pedro Martinez (simply because he pitched so long)? Or was twice the pitcher that Ron Guidry was?
