I will also be doing one of these from Mike Mussina. Like Larkin, he doesn't have the "round" numbers like 300 wins, or 3,000 strikeouts. But Moose was an extremely consistent pitcher, pitched well when he was in the playoffs, adjusted well in his later career and was an excellent fielding pitcher. The one thing that is going to go against Mussina is that his contemporaries- Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson specifically- had dominant peaks.

Bump.
In my summary I had Larkin either 5 or 6 or 7 all time, depending how you rank him against Jeter (which really comes down to how much you punish Jeter for his defense) and Ripken (do you value the HR's, despite Larkin's overall OPS negating the huge HR edge?).
My biggest gripe with the MLB list is Ozzie Smith. Way too high. I guess I can live with Ripken being so high, but I disagree.Comment
