That cuts out Barry Zito, Andy Pettitte, C.C. Sabathia, Mark Mulder, Dave LaPoint, Steve Trout (if you lower the age to 20), Jim Abbott, Steve Avery, Wilson Alvarez, Greg Swindell, Sid Fernandez, John Candelaria, Bob Knepper, Frank Viola, Mark Langston, Vida Blue, Frank Tanana, and Tom Glavine.

Sanata has huge edges in ERA+, W-L%, and ERA. Frankly, I don't understand why any team wouldn't trade it's top 2 prospects for Santana. While Santana isn't a sure bet to continue as one of the game's top pitchers, that's more of a sure bet than ANY minor leaguer panning out, even as a top prospect. Santana has a huge distance he could slip and still be a solid #2 or #3 pitcher. Phil Hughes, Clay Buchholz...who knows? Is Buehrle really so close to Santana?
