I think if there's one thing I miss most about baseball today compared to the baseball I grew up with (1990s) it's that there isn't a single starting pitcher whose starts are an event that all of baseball really pays attention to. I remember it being a big deal when Gregg Maddux or Pedro Martinez was scheduled to start - it got national attention, and you would tune in just to watch them pitch. There isn't a single starter today that I would tune in just to watch them pitch.

Wainwright is probably up there but I would rate him below Greinke and Cole, especially with the awful year he is having, he should have retired. Bumgarner really fell off the table a few years ago.

If we're being honest, baseball card collectors seem to have the worst record in predicting who will be great pitchers (see Brian Taylor, Todd Von Poppel etc al)

I think Stephen Strasburg had the most hype, but only had a couple of elite years. Won the 2019 World Series MVP though.
