Roy Halladay, best pitcher in baseball?

The guy consistently gets 16+ wins every season, low ERA, is an innings eater, and always leads the league in complete games. If Halladay isn't the best pitcher in baseball right now say who it is and why Halladay would not be the best pitcher in baseball.

Update:

Halladay is on my team, the Jays! Go Jays Go!

Update 2:

Halladay won the Cy Young in 03. He was second to Cliff Lee last season.

    He really is one of the most overlooked pitchers in baseball. Guys like CC and Johan get a lot of attention, and as great as they are Halladay is one guy I trust with the ball in almost any situation. He throws hard and has fantastic stuff, but he really knows how to pitch.

    Now he's a guy I could get behind the Yankees spending 160 million on.

    Not every year, in 2004 he went 8-8 and was on the DL twice. He pitched 133.0 innings. I think Johan Santana is the best pitcher in baseball. But Roy Halladay is not far behind.

    Top 3

    1.Johan Santana

    2.C.C. Sabathia

    3. Roy Halladay, by the way has halladay ever won the Cy Young Award?

  • It's hard to say he's the best with Santana, Sabathia, Lincecum and Webb out there, but I will say he's one of the top 3 in baseball right now. I love Roy Halladay and he's one of my favorite pitchers in baseball.

    Halladay is a fantastic pitcher, and one of my personal favorites. he was a workhorse for my fantasy team last season.

    but hes not the best. youve got to give that i think to sellout sabathia. he is a great pitcher, definitely top 5 in my book, but there are bigger fish out there. and sabby's still young.
