Top 10 Cardinal Starting Pitchers Of The 2000's

www.CardinalsFrontOffice.wordpress.com

Many of you are not going to agree with this list, but let me clarify something before you throw a fit. Somebody that was with the Cardinals for a year or two, then became great, is not going to make this list (Haren). Somebody who had three great seasons is not going to rank higher than a pitcher who had six really good seasons (Kile/Morris). These are the ‘Top 10 Cardinal Starting Pitchers’ … Not the ‘Top Ten Starting Pitchers Who Happened to Play for the Cardinals’. Big difference.

Please keep that in mind and enjoy.
