here is my list of true aces. and they are in no particlular order

1. Mike Mussina (Yankees)
2. Pedro Martinez (Red Sox)
3. Kevin Brown (Yankees)
4. Curt Schilling (Red Sox)
5. Randy Johnson (D'backs)
6. Tim Hudson (A's)
7. Roger Clemens (astros)
8. Jason Schmidt (giants)
9. Mark Mulder (A's)
10. Mark Prior (cubs)

honorable mention
Josh Beckett (marlins)
Johan Santana (twins) these two have true #1 stuff
ben sheets Milwakee)
brad penny (Dodgers)
roy oswalt (astros)
matt morris (cards)
carlos zambrano (cubs)

up and coming possible true Aces in the higher level minors (AA, AAA) with some time in the majors (except miller only AA)
Scott Kazmir (TB)
Greg Miller (Dodgers)--- especially these two lefties that can bring it upward of 95-98 MPH. and if i am not mistaken i think they are both only 20years old
Edwin Jackson (Dodgers)
Jerome Williams (Giants)

lower level minors possible true Aces
1. Felix Hernandez (mariners) has hit 98 several times as a 17 year old in California league. i got to see him pitch. he is the real deal.

2. Jose Capallan (ATL traded to MIL last week) hit over 100 MPH this year several times

3. Homer Bailey (i think it is Asros?)HS'er just got drafted this year hit 95 as a junior in the HS AFLAC All American/All-Star gamegame. and he is from Texas where the great power pitchers have come form

Nice list...I pretty much agree with all of those...I think Pedro went for his last big money grab and will begin to decline next year...he got touched by alot of teams last year, although the AL to NL switch may prove a great move for him...I might put Santana in my ten...and as for prospects there are these guys...Matt Cain, 7-1 with a 1.86 ERA and 89 strikeouts for Class A San Jose in 2004, and Merkin Valdez, the only good thing to come out of the 2002 trade with Atlanta when the Giants swapped Russ Ortiz for Damian Moss.

Mark Mulder

Best pitches all vary.My favorite is Greg Maddox fast ball that tales away from lefties,and hits the inside corner.Nobody can fuck with Gagne's changepiece,but Moyer comes to mind.Breaking pitches,Almost everyone on the list,it's usually what seperates the average from great.Tim Hudson is my favorite though,and I hate the A's.He reminds me of David Cone alot.Mark Prior's my favorite pitcher though.Flawless mechanics,a huge curve,and an overpowering fastball.Rivera has great shit to.It's a quarter till 3,I'm out till tomorrow to argue some shit.:)
