Pedro vs. Pitcher X

Pitcher X had 174 wins up to and including age 31. For the next five seasons Pitcher X went 89 and 44 (an average of 17.8 wins and 8.8 losses per year) for a winning percentage of .669. For comparison - Randy Johnson is 13th on the winning percentage all-time list with .668.

Pitcher X was successful despite being only 6' and 170 pounds and despite lacking an overpowering fastball. Pitcher X won with smarts and superior command. Pitcher X is also known as Greg Maddux.

I don't think it is a stretch to compare Pedro to Maddux now that it is clear that Pedro won't have a 95 MPH fastball at his disposal. Wouldn't you want the 1998 version of Greg Maddux on your team?
