I like lists which split up eras since it does a better job to group players together.Still with that being said, Carlson's big year was much better than that of Moyer's yr in '08. Hal pitched to an ERA+ of 133! Now considering Hal did this 11 yrs the younger to that of Moyer can be argued in Moyer's favor, but I would say Moyer and hal, taking in consideration Hal was in his mid 30's and Moyer is in his mid 40's were much closer together as Phill Greats than this list depicts.But let's not take away anything from a pitcher who pitched in 267+ innings while completing 20 games out of his 34 starts.

I can remember the days, 61 years before I was born when he was just a rook. Ahh, good old Hal Carlson. I can remember the days, 61 years before I was born when he was just a rook.
