I am a big believer in Len Bark and Larry Dierker - both of them are killing it for my Fond du Lac Panthers. I don't think there's anything super magical about them, they're just very skilled and probably under-ranked in Overall Rating. I've gone a little beyond this level, but just add up their STU, MOV, and CON ratings: Barker = 218, Dierker = 215.
Now look at some of the Diamond pitchers: 91 Pedro = 220. 90 Clemens = 219. 90 Reuschel = 216. 90 Strasburg = 194.
