Click my website icon for a tiny version. Wayne Garland\'s 1977 afro is so good that it beats out any actor (black, or otherwise) from \"What\'s Happening,\" \"Good Times,\" and \"Starsky and Hutch.\" Combined. - RobReed Mon, 05 Jan 2009 20:47:47 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/the-lesson-of-wayne-garland.html#comment-310 Poor CC Sabathia, he actually threw a major league leading 10 whole complete games last season! The babying of starting pitchers in baseball has gone a bit too far. Pitch counts, inning limits...jeez! CC is the first pitcher to throw double digit complete games since 1999. From 1987 to 1998 at least one pitcher, many seasons more than one, threw at least 10. For the entire of history of baseball before 1987 it normally took at least 20 complete games to lead the league. I know the game has changed, but take the ball, pitch and finish the job if you can. Maybe the problem is some pitchers really just don\'t throw enough. - JoeLano Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:30:09 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/the-lesson-of-wayne-garland.html#comment-307 It made me smile when I got to the site and saw a headline with Wayne Garland in it. Someone needs to do a story with Cesar Cedeno or some other 1970s guy tomorrow. It seems like the real problem was making Garland throw 282.2 IP his first year in Cleveland, which led to the rotator cuff problems. Of course, if Garland was available today after what he did in his standout 1976 season, we would focus on his K/9 of only 4.38 and his HR/9 of 0.39 and his FIP that was half a run higher than his ERA. - Brian Joura Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:09:04 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/the-lesson-of-wayne-garland.html#comment-305 Thanks for the compliment, big o. I think The Tribe might be out of one year wonders ... unless Adam Miller can find a way to stay out of the trainer\'s room. Gabriel, can you believe it? I completely forgot about Kevin Brown! Another triumph amongst the history of pitching acquisitions. - Bob Sikon Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:40:29 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/the-lesson-of-wayne-garland.html#comment-302 Since when has common sense had any place in baseball? I think the Yankees should sign Ben Sheets, trade for Rich Harden and offer Mark Prior a minor league deal. You\'re right about big contract pitchers, though. I immediately thought of Kevin Brown... - GabrielLundeen Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:51:39 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/the-lesson-of-wayne-garland.html#comment-300 a very entertaining read. hope to see more of your work soon. i took a hiatus from baseball around 1976 , so i never knew of wayne garland. not that your Tribe needs anyone to put the whammy on them , but : fausto 2008 c. lee 2009 ? do you think that i should be looking for the Tribe\'s next one-year wonder ? - big o Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:12:53 +0100
