[metsmarathon]

in comparison, the astros have drafted 23 players in the last 30 years with more than 7 wins. they are clearly a better franchise than hte mets.

i didn't check too many teams. really after the mets i checked the astros and then one other team. that team is shockingly bad at drafting pitchers who go on to win more than 7 wins for their originally drafting team. this awful, shameful team - a disgrace to the game and their fans and their city - has drafted only 7 - seven! - pitchers who would win more than 7 games for them. 8 if you allow them to claim credit for a player who they originally drafted, who won 7 games for them, then was traded away for nothing and spent the long rest of his career with other teams, only to return for a fading 4 wins in the twilight of his career.

this awful awful franchise, upon which should be bestowed only the lowest of low regard, which is worse than event he lowly mets at drafting pitchers and therefore is a model of how never to ever run a franchise and is also clearly immune to winning and success and will wallow forever in hte morass created by their ineffectual and incompetent management and ownership...

this collection of ne'er do wells, who suck so suckily at baseball things...

this bastion of baseball stupidity...

these butts of jokes by latenight hosts and sports yellers...

that team whose fans must clearly lurk only in shadows and under paper bags with cutouts for eyes, perhaps rumored to exist but rarely seen for fear of eternal shaming...





the mother fucking yankees.

context, bitches.

[Frayed Knot]

You beat me to it, I was going to suggest the Yanx as I knew they've grown almost none of their own pitching in recent years/decades.
Pettitte, Hughes, Joba come to mind - and the one who went away and came back to scarf up the 4 wins has got to be Leiter, right? The rest are probably relievers who happened to scarf up a win by being the pitcher of record during a mop-up appearance in a handful of games when Yanqui bats suddenly cranked out six consecutive HRs in the 8th inning.

[metsmarathon]

pretty much. scott kamienicki (sp) was in there.

i mean, limiting it to players [u:3tilillw]drafted [/u:3tilillw]by the team sure does limit things, as it excludes all those pesky international free agents the yankees brought in and developed (mariano, f'rinstance), but that would make hte mets look less bad, too, albeit to a lesser extent.
