Orosco vs. The World v2013

[batmagadanleadoff]

Jesse's untouchable.

[Edgy MD]

No other active guys behind him. Pedro Feliciano is a five years with a full workload away from appearing on that list. Tim Byrdak too.

Top Ten Active Guys

1. Mariano Rivera (43): 1072
2. LaTroy Hawkins (40): 893
3. Kyle Farnsworth (37): 827
4. Octavio Dotel (39): 758
5. Darren Oliver (42): 733
6. Francisco Rodriguez (31): 688
7. Derek Lowe (40): 681
8. J.C. Romero (37): 680
9. Dennys Reyes (36): 673
10. Joe Nathan (38): 669

Unless Hawkins finds a magic pitch, I guess the only one on that list that could make a threat would be a rejuvenated Francisco Rodriguez.

Greg Maddux started more games than any other pitcher not in the Hall of Fame. Maddux, of course, is a no-brainer first ballot shoo-in, waiting to be eligible. Roger Clemens has the next most number of starts for a non HOF pitcher. He's a first-ballot shoo-in but for extracurricular circumstances. Which non HOF pitcher has the third most # of starts, after Maddux and Clemens?

This is games started, not just appeared in, correct?

Well I'm going to guess Jim Kaat anyway.

Something of a doubling down on the dirty, seeing "Randy Johnson (Really Hard)."

[seawolf17]

Pettitte?

[Elster88]

Tim Wakefield?

[Edgy MD]

Pettitte is 20th among non HoF-ers (46th overall).

Wakefield is number 40 (73).

[Edgy MD]

I apologize to batmags for presuming to preside over these proceedings. I'm trying to be perfect here but may have made a mistake in the rankings.

[Chad ochoseis]

Don Sutton?

OE...non Hall of Famers. Non Hall of Famers (smacks self in head)

[Edgy MD]

There's no small amount of folks who forget Sutton is a HoFer and seek to expose him for the faker they seem to think he is.

[Gwreck]

Mike Mussina?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Mussina? Reuschel?

[Edgy MD]

Both are excellente guesses. Mussina, hero of Baltimore, is 11th among non-HoF-ers (and 33rd overall). Reuschel is 12th (and tied for 34th).

[Edgy MD]

You've got to remember number 10. Both a lover of wine and a good little soldier.
