Career Pitching Totals

I wanted to take a look at career pitching stats of some of the top pitchers in our league. I have ranked them by career ERA with a min of 400 career IP(if I have missed any, let me know and I can update it). The stats were taken this afternoon and do not reflect the PM2 cycle.

Pitcher (ERA, Record, Win %, WHIP, IP)
1. Greg Stewart - CLE (2.62, 55-13, .809, 1.04, 593)
2. Bosco Jefferson - BOS (3.02, 35-16, .687, 1.20, 420)
3. Jake Payton - PIT (3.08, 38-27, .585, 1.16, 642)
4. Fergie Joseph - SF (3.17, 30-15, .667, 1.26, 414)
5. Hector Guerrero - CLE (3.22, 37-22, .627, 1.20, 552)
6. Kirk Strittmatter - FLA (3.30, 29-22, .567, 1.22, 463)
7. Bob Wall - CHA (3.32, 30-20, .667, 1.28, 490)

Honorable Mention - Castro ATL (3.57), Hyun CHC (3.57), Buchanan DET (3.60), Cooke SF (3.79)

I'm sure that I missed some. I didn't really write this to highlight Stewart, because the only credit for his success that I can claim is that I signed him to an extension during arbitration and I think everybody would have done that. What I was hoping to accomplish is to highlight pitchers that don't otherwise get much credit. They are the guys that are listed 4-7 and Santana.

Joseph - Here is a guy that had a tremendous first season (15-6, 3.04, 1.24) but did not make the all-star team. During season 2 he had injury problems that limited him to 136 IP. This season he is posting strong numbers again.

Guerrero - Working in the shadow's of Stewart, he has put up great numbers. He was not great during season 1, but still posted commendable numbers. He followed that up with a Cy Young worthy season after that (18-7, 2.62, 1.18), but was overshadowed by Stewart. And this season he has only pitched better. Was named to the All-star team in season 2.

Strittmatter - He seems to be lacking run support. Despite his 2.78 ERA and 1.11 WHIP last year, he was only able to manage 14 wins during his 34 starts. During the other two years, he has posted very good, but not phenomenal numbers.

Wall - Made the all-star team during season one, but only finished the year with an 11-8 record despite a 3.20 ERA. Went a disappointing 11-11 during season 2 with a 3.60 ERA, but has started off strong during season 3 with an 8-1 record.

Santana - Despite a nearly identical ERA and a better winning percentage he has lived in the shadow of Nick Alexander. Though a little tough to call him underappreciated with two all-star appearances, he was a strong contributor to the Rays playoff appearances. This year he has struggled, but is sure to turn it around says GM Boggs.
