He is a great pitcher. But he isnt the best pitcher of your lifetime yet.

Clemens and Maddux had far better careers and higher peaks. Pedro had a 7 year run better than anyone in baseball history has ever had. Randy Johnson won 5 Cy Young awards and finished 2nd 3 times. Tom Glavine won 2 Cy Youngs and finished in the top 3 6 times.

Halladay's last few seasons have been very good. If he pitches as well over the next 3 or 4 years he will join the above group. Being that he is going to get a steady dose of the Nationals, Marlins and Mets in the NL East it looks good for him.
