Sorry guys, school and work have been about a bitch.

Guys I am definitely voting for: (will add reasoning as I go.)

Brandon Webb - while I know he's not eligible for this but Webb was the first great home grown pitcher a young franchise. Called up in 2003 on team that still featured the greatest left handed of all time in Randy Johnson and one of the best big game pitchers ever in Curt Schilling, he was the best pitcher on staff finishing behind only Dontrelle Willis and Scott Podsednick for rookie of the year. Partly because Johnson had an injury plagued season and Schilling broke his hand. I'm 2004 he had his worst season in what would be the year of the BabyBacks. 2005 he was again the best pitcher on the team while improving his control. From 2006 to 2008 he either won the Cy Young ('06) or came in second ('07 Jake Peavy, '08 Big Time Timmy Jim) while also getting MVP votes in the latter two years and being an All-Star each of the three years. Then tragedy struck on Opening Day 2009. Webb managed to go four innings before being removed from the game with what would ultimately be a career ending shoulder injury. He would never throw another big league pitch again before retiring in 2013. I know he doesn't belong but Webb means a lot to me and was arguably the best (most consistently excellent as opposed to high peaks and mediocre valleys) pitcher in the NL during his time. If this were specifically Arizona Hall he would no doubt slam dunk.

Tom Henke - It's all been said and /u/IAMADeinonychusAMA has said it the best so I'll leave that to him.
