Your January 18 Scorecard piece “By
Johnson was a feared pitcher who improved with age. I often kick myself for turning down tickets to a May 2004 Braves game, that turned out to be Johnson’s perfect game. He was of the greatest lefties…top five even. Better than Koufax, perhaps…but he has plenty of competition for the greatest ever.

Wins are quite possibly one of the most overrated measures of pitching acumen today. To compare a pitcher of THIS era against a Warren Spahn or Lefty Carlton isn't remotely fair.
True, on both counts. Still, I think it's a stretch to call Randy Johnson the greatest lefty ever, as much as I like him. Steve Carlton was very dominating, for a much longer stretch than Johnson.
Hey...thanks for reading!
