Actually, the time period I was referring to consisted of 339 innings in 8 years. Injuries or no, he was given plenty of opportunities to pitch during those eight years, and was generally ineffective. That doesn't take anything away from the ten very good years he had afterwards, but it also takes away any excuses you might make for his career numbers being a little slight.
