Taking their peak seasons, the Braves duo was 12.5 wins a year between them -- Halladay and Lee about 10.   :shrug:  How do you call a 10-win player better than a 12-win player?
...............
Maddux and Glavine were not *scary.*  Both pitched off fastballs usually below 90.  Maybe the precision vs. power adds to the 'real life' feel that Halladay and Lee are painful to face?

If we're just saying, well, the sport has advanced, Halladay has a tougher job etc, then yeah.  Everybody playing today is better than everybody who used to play.  Why write the articles comparing anybody?
