I've run a ton of leagues and pitchers with better ratings and even ones I've hand tweaked to try and get the same result don't come close.
We didn't win the title that year, though. Wasted effort, if you ask me.  |
760 innings? Come on now. That would mean even if he went the full 9 innings per start, he would have had to start over 84 games.
