Pretty hard to counter-argue that line-up. I might try to move Joss up somehow, but how? Maybe Mathewson up, but that is hard to do also. I just remember that John Kieran quote, "Mathewson was the best pitcher I ever saw. He was the best anyone ever saw. Let them name all the others. I don't care. Mathewson was better."
