when you think about it, there really aren't many great lefties in the game? they truly are rare. the top 12 i can think of are:

Santana
Dontrelle
Buerhle
Glavine
Capuano
Pettitte
Zito
Mulder- barely
Kazmir
Lowry
Duke
Sabathia

Should Johnson still be in there? I mean, he wasn't dominant last year and this year he's been flat out bad. i guess johnson could be put under lowry, if at all.

I don't know if Mulder should be on there either. I've always thought he was quite overrated.

Johnson should still probably be on there. He's still coming off a great year by most people's standards. I still think he'll be okay this year.

A guy not to forget about is Doug Davis. He gave up nine runs in 2.2 innings against Houston earlier this year which is really skewing his ERA right now, but this guy's extremely underrated.

oh, i was definitely thinking of davis. i'm just not sure how consistent he is. we'll see how he adjusts over the next couple months.

I also think Cliff Lee deserves to be mentioned among the best.
