Pettitte had 4 top 5 Cy Young finishes, won 5 World Series, won 19 games in the postseason, was ALCS MVP. 19 wins is the postseason is the most by any player, ever. That alone is almost enough to get him in.

I have a hard time giving a damn about post season counting stats. Your TEAM has to get you there an awful lot to give you even a chance of racking those numbers up. So I have a hard time saying Petitte was greater than say Felix Hernandez, because he got a ton of postseason opportunities. When Fernandez was a much more dominant pitcher overall, albeit one who was, unfortunately, finished at a much younger age. Then again that's what PED's gets you.
