Oakland's Big 3 were a special group - they didn't have the longevity of Glavine/Smoltz/Avery then Maddux but are up there. (Barring injury, Detroit's trio of Verlander/Bonderman/Miller will be the Big Three of the next decade.)
Yeah - if you want the better pitcher on a better team... Penny's already got the World Series ring, the Dodgers are trending up, is certainly a CY Young contender and should be for the forseeable future, is a good hitter for a pitcher, and he's beefy if you're into that.
Zito already has a CY Young, he's never been injured and he's got that pretty curveball, but he was always a little overrated. And now he's getting exposed playing for that awful, awful SF team. And given his contract, he's going to be on lousy baseball teams for a while.
