My list would look something like this, though not necessarily in this order:

San Diego Padres
Jake Peavy and Chris Young are legitimate aces, Randy Wolf has always been strong when healthy, Greg Maddux has a great deal of gas left in the tank, and Justin Germano has very good stuff, he just needs more experience.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Brandon Webb may be the best pitcher in the game, Dan Haren seems to be proving that his first half in 2007 was no fluke, Micah Owings and Randy Johnson are solid, and Max Scherzer has a ton of potential.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Brad Penny and Derek Lowe could front many staffs, Hiroki Kuroda has been quite successful thus far, Chad Billingsley has great stuff, and Hong-Chih Kuo has impressed in limited time.
Toronto Blue Jays
Roy Halladay is a top five pitcher, AJ Burnett is a force when healthy, and Dustin McGowan, Shaun Marcum, and Jesse Litsch are three of the best young pitchers in the game.
Seattle Mariners
Felix Hernandez and Erik Bedard are aces that are still improving, Carlos Silva is an above-average innings eater with great control, and Jarrod Washburn and Miguel Batista are more than serviceable at the end of the rotation.
