Playing around with the Complete Baseball Encyclopedia and setting the controls for:
CAREER, 1987-2007, LEFT HANDED PITCHERS
with GAMES STARTED BETWEEN 400 AND 500, and
NEUTRAL WINS <= 210;
show WINNING PERCENTAGE, INNINGS PITCHED and ERA vs. the league average
gives us the following:
RSAA RSAA ERA GS IP N_W PCT 1 Kenny Rogers 137 0.36 444 3129 191 .595 2 David Wells 108 0.35 489 3439 209 .604
Funny, I never noticed how close the relative career stats were for Boomer Wells and Kenny Rogers - two former Yankees pitchers.
Rogers is still pitching, of course. And, Wells wants to pitch again this season. Let's just hope that the Yankees don't have to reach out to someone like Wells for help this season - like they did with Clemens in 2007.
