Liriano. Also, Joe Nathan should be up there.

And watch out for Tim Lincecum. He's ready to light the entire universe on fire.

Actually, the top 6 in no order:

Liriano
Santana
Nathan
Lincecum
Hernandez
Sheets

Matsuzaka-san is close. Top 10, probably. Pedro is #1 for me all time.

Petey throws one of the best changes of all-time, had one of the best fastballs of his generation AND a killer curve. Add to that impeccable control

Steve Dalkowski could throw like 110 MPH, but he didn't have any sort of command. Probably the most wild guy ever. In 1960 he walked 262 guys in 170 innings for Class C Stockton. Guy never made it to the majors.

Truly unhittable. He allowed 682 hits in 985 career minorleague innings, which is ridiculous.
