Here's some information that I think should help my Clemens article from the other day, in regards to his place in history among pitchers.
Clemens set the modern day record for career RSAA (Runs Saved Above Average) in his start the other day. And who is he directly in front of?
RSAA
1 Roger Clemens 671
2 Lefty Grove 668
3 Walter Johnson 643
4 Greg Maddux 556
5 Grover C Alexander 524
6 Randy Johnson 512
7 Pedro Martinez 488
8 Christy Mathewson 405
9 Tom Seaver 404
10 Carl Hubbell 355
Also, Maddux is ahead of Johnson (who probably won't catch him unless he pitches til he's 45ish) and Pedro Martinez is already directly behind Randy Johnson in terms of RSAA even though he is much younger. It will be interesting to see where Martinez ends up on the list if he continues to stay healthy.
Thanks to The Hardball Times for this information.
