Sick starting pitching:
SP Greg Maddux
SP Warren Spahn
SP John Smoltz
SP Phil Niekro
SP Tom Glavine

[/ QUOTE ]

Added a 5th starter, and moved Maddux to #1.

edit: Just noticed the rule of 4 starters and 2 closers... Hmm.. I like the 5-man rotation! But if I had to, I would drop Glavine.

Keep Glavine and move Smoltz to the pen, LDO.

BZZZZZZT not allowed, see OP.

This is the internet, I choose to randomly ignore your arbitrary rules.

Solid relief, but nothing exciting:

You're kidding, right? Wohlers is more than "solid."

I think I would take Hershiser in his prime over Sutton. Shorter career, but IMHO much higher peak.

I think Hershiser's 1988 season is the best single-season performance by a pitcher in my lifetime (38 years).

A bit of a derail here, but what about Dwight Gooden '85?
24-4, 1.53 ERA, 0.965 WHIP, 268 K, 69 BB, 16 CG, 8 SHO.

Hershiser's '88 for comparison
23-8, 2.26 ERA, 1.052 WHIP, 178 K, 73 BB, 15 CG, 8 SHO.

85 Must have been a sick year for NL pitching, I see that Hershiser was 3rd in CY voting, and that year was arguably better than his '88:
19-3, 2.03 ERA, 1.031 WHIP, 157 K, 68 BB, 9 CG, 5 SHO.

Looks like John Tudor was the other guy with more votes that year, with a 21-8, 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP season. Sick.
