pitchers
i was in the library with my sister and i said "they should order books by goodness." so i did it with pitchers. numbers aren't exact because we didn't have sacrifice data.
Player bf w k hr wal con hrp era
johnson,randy 968 54 290 18 .056 .683 .029 2.60
santana,johan 903 63 265 24 .070 .685 .042 2.61
take your pick. rj faced more batters, but johan had that retarded second half.
sheets,ben 948 36 264 25 .038 .711 .039 2.70
definitely number 3. a wal that low with a con that low is, as the kids say, hard to do.
schilling,curt 926 40 203 23 .043 .771 .034 3.26
a postseason for the ages. what ages? i don't know, but they're gonna write about it for a long time. place it in historical context. i don't know, willis reed? why do i keep saying i don't know? i don't know.
martinez,pedro 921 77 227 26 .084 .731 .042 3.90
i had a dream last night where pedro said he grew up a cardinals fan.
oswalt,roy 1016 72 206 17 .071 .782 .023 3.49
clemens,roger 897 85 218 15 .095 .732 .025 2.98
yeah, oswalt faced more batters. clemens was better when he did pitch. clemens' last few years have put him clearly ahead of maddux historically.
perez,oliver 823 90 239 22 .109 .674 .045 2.98
schmidt,jason 920 80 251 18 .087 .701 .031 3.20
peavy,jake 709 64 173 13 .090 .732 .028 2.27
pretty close between these three. all are dominators.
zambrano,carlo 904 101 188 14 .112 .766 .023 2.75
raw talent. still working on harnessing it. fun to watch.
hernandez,liva 1092 93 186 26 .085 .814 .032 3.60
doesn't get the respect he deserves. that's what happens when you're an expo. for the record, i'd like to say "nationals" is a terrible name. it's the name of the league! you use it to distinguish the mets from the yankees, for example. people don't want to say "senators" because it failed twice, but that was because they were in the american league. a washington team should be in the national league. calling them senators would link them with history in a positive way. calling them "nationals" is just stupid.
wright,jaret 799 72 159 11 .090 .781 .019 3.28
dominant.
hudson,tim 816 56 103 8 .069 .864 .012 3.53
8 home runs!
radke,brad 920 32 143 23 .035 .839 .031 3.48
as we move down the list, the differences become smaller and smaller. the guys at the top make a real impact. the guys at the bottom are just guys.
davis,doug 900 86 166 14 .096 .796 .022 3.39
more ground balls this year = fewer home runs (per at-bat).
buehrle,mark 1052 59 165 33 .056 .834 .040 3.89
workhorse.
pavano,carl 939 60 139 16 .064 .842 .022 3.00
he was good, but the park helped.
kennedy,joe 725 75 117 17 .103 .820 .032 3.66
fantastic production in colorado.
garcia,freddy 893 71 184 22 .080 .776 .034 3.81
helped by first half in seattle.
escobar,kelvim 900 83 190 21 .092 .767 .033 3.93
still kelviming
arroyo,bronson 773 66 142 17 .085 .799 .030 4.03
great year in every respect except hair.
rogers,kenny 958 75 126 24 .078 .857 .032 4.76
great work in the park that makes mvp's.
harden,rich 824 84 167 16 .102 .774 .028 3.99
thomson,john 863 58 133 20 .067 .835 .030 3.72

lieber,jon 766 20 102 20 .026 .863 .031 4.33
westbrook,jake 920 65 116 19 .071 .864 .026 3.38
ground balls lead to success.
mussina,mike 714 42 132 22 .059 .804 .041 4.59
wells,david 812 22 101 23 .027 .872 .033 3.73
lopez,rodrigo 732 56 121 21 .077 .821 .038 3.59
bonderman,jere 803 83 168 24 .103 .767 .043 4.89
put it all together in september.
wakefield,tim 841 79 116 29 .094 .848 .045 4.87
