Who was better Pedro Martinez or Greg Maddux?
Im going with Greg Maddux. While both pitchers have had wonderful careers in the majors, I will give the slightest of edges to Maddux. I have to admire a guy who has such command of his pitches and does not throw very hard. While Pedro was bringing heat, Maddux was putting nasty movement on his pitches. That's why today Martinez has lost a lot of the velocity and stays injured, while Maddux still has movement on his pitches and is a reliable pitcher in the rotation. He doesn't go to the DL much because he uses movement on his pitches rather than overusing his arm to throw fast. Maddux's career with the Braves, Cubs, and Padres proved that he could pitch on different teams and the result would be the same, a win most of the time. RR
