I'll admit that I don't know more than the first thing about Sandy Kofax, but I feel compelled to point out that the above argument is specious - in my eyes, anyways. If arguing that Pitcher X is "the best pitcher of all-time", it is possible to argue that "the best pitcher of all-time" was the most well-rounded pitcher of all-time. As such, it is conceivable that this "best well-rounded pitcher of all-time" may not be the "top pitcher" in most categories, or even all categories. For example, a pitcher that was 2nd or 3rd in every metric of analysis might arguably be "the best pitcher of all-time." Thus, the mere fact that Sandy Kofax isn't tops in strikeouts - (and the fact that you didn't really follow that up with other signgle-measures of greatness) tells me nothing about whether or not Kofax merits the title of "greatest pitcher of all-time."
