Top 10 Active Starting Pitchers

With the All-Star Game upon us, I thought it was time to rank the top 10 active pitchers. The 10 best, including the old (Pettitte), young (Lincecum), and in-between (Santana) are what make baseball great today.

I know that we will have disagreements, so please feel free to voice your opinions.
