A stud pitcher has a massive impact in this ancient era of base-ball.

Not exactly. The owner of the team in the 1871 season was run out of town, and the team was taken over by a true baseball genius whose shrewd manoueverings have turned the team completely around, taking them to first place a month into the season.
Oh, and
incidentally, the team did take Cummings with the first pick in the '72 draft, he's 8-1, 1.11 so far.
