Vote for Pedro
I voted for Pedro. My reasoning below.
The living player who had the best career is Bonds. No question. But I dock him for steroid use. Still he's in the top 5
The player who had the greatest career, whose career was not affected by steroids was Mike Schmidt.
However the greatest player at a certain time of their peak value, was Pedro Martinez, who made his accomplishments pitching to guys who were juiced. I use the same logic as I would in picking the Beatles as the greatest band even though most of their great work was done in a small time frame of 6-7 years.
From 97 to 03 Pedro was the best pitcher ever.
