Those are solid numbers. In the MLB, maybe not first ballot numbers, but someone who would likely make it in eventually.
So the fact that he hung on, essentially as a replacement calibre player, does suck, but should that be held against him? He's obviously racked up some good counting numbers, which hurts his career ERA. And of course, with the stats he's put up those last couple years, I wouldn't be certain he could even make it to 300 wins if he held on one more year.

imo he didn't seem to be doing that well before '88. I'm curious how he stacks up against his peers. How many times was he on the top 5 list for, era/whip/k's/war? How many all-stars?
