Thanks man. Yeah he is slept on a lot. He is in the Hall of very good no doubt. Really wish my boys would not have let him go. I remember him pitching when he was very young back in like 1992.

Higher career WAR than Jim Palmer, Carl Hubbell, Roy Halladay, Juan Marichal and Bob Feller.

Tough part for me will be 1996, 1997 or 1998 KB.

Yeah, he just lost it quick, he went from elite to bum without any transition time.

Indeed. Those Yankee years were bad. All those innings caught up to him. He has 23 complete games in 1992 and 1993 combined. Thats ridiculous.

1996 is the right choice.

96 or 98. Flip a coin there.

I don't think he is quite a hall of famer (though look at that WAR....shit) but I am surprised he is off the ballot already.

Are playoff numbers of any significance on this simulation?

numbers · Post by **numbers** » Sat August 30, 2014 1:17 am

Wasn't he on the Mitchell list or something?

I believe so IIRC

Yeah, guys that were borderline to begin with don't stand a chance in today's voter climate if they have a sniff of PED on them.

His ERA+ was 215 in 96, it was 163 in 98.

Strike outs are way better in 98. Considering my park I will have to look at the ground ball/fly ball ratio. It's Kevin Brown though who might have the best sinker/splitter combo I have ever seen. I'm sure he kept it down a lot both years.

An EAR+ of 215 is crazy good.

Norah · Post by **Norah** » Sat August 30, 2014 1:32 am

In fact, it's the 22nd best of all time for a single season.

Norah · Post by **Norah** » Sat August 30, 2014 1:32 am

It's not quite 1999 Pedro, but it's better than 2003 Pedro.

This is fun. I can't wait for this. Few things are more fun then talking baseball.

Few things in life are 1999 Pedro level.

Felix Hernandez. Kevin Brown was my next pick.

Norah · Post by **Norah** » Sat August 30, 2014 1:35 am

Welp, I was going to go with another position player and hope one of either Felix or Kershaw made it back to me but you guys have fucked that up.

Clayton Kershaw
