Well, timing had something to do with it. During his prime years coming up, I believe he was stuck behind Ripken and Boggs in BAL and TB

He certainly doesn’t figure into the future of the franchise, but how big an upgrade could he have been?

I’m not sure he’s actually even that good. An ERA of 5.48 has to be below replacement level. In addition, he has about the same number of walks as strikeouts and a WHIP around 1.65.

Neglectful father of David Quinowski

by marcello on Sep 3, 2008 2:04 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm just saying it

because about 1/2 the time he pitches, he gives us a really good chance to win. It’s actually probably closer to 60%. He’s just awful in the other starts so it’s over quickly.

On a team that had a more potent offense, I think he would easily win 10 games.

I think there was a study that showed that the more catchers worked with the same pitchers, the better those pitchers did. So, while catcher ERA is bunk (if I’m remembering correctly) there is a correlation with experience between a catcher and pitcher.
