My top five are the following: 1. Zack Greinke 2. Justin Verlander 3.
Felix Hernandez 4. C.C. Sabathia 5. Francisco Liriano I think that Greinke is head and shoulders above the other pitchers in the American League and were he actually on a team that was not one of the worst teams in baseball, and has been for his entire career, he would be a sure fire hall of famer.
Greinke posted a 2.18 earned run average and still won just 16 games. This year so far he has a very respectable 2.72 ERA and yet he is just 1-4 on the season. The guy is absolutely hampered by the quality of his team like no other pitcher in baseball right now.
I was hesitant to put Liriano on the list, but I truly believe that when he is healthy he is one of the best around. I saw him pitch in person in his big breakout season, and his stuff is just as nasty as they come. Now that he appears to be all the way back, I feel safe including him.
Hernandez just won the American League Cy Young Award for the Mariners, despite winning only 13 games for the year. This was due to him dominating statistics in every other category, as he posted a 2.27 ERB, 1.06 WHIP, and 232 strikeouts for the year. The expectation is that Felix will be even better in 2011, and that his win total has nowhere to go but up.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
