Fidrych was part of the inaugural draft in my league. Imported at age 23 and was drafted by the Boston Minutemen in the 26th round(pick 519). 1984 saw him go 15-14 4.11 91ERA+. He followed that with a 11-12 4.57 84ERA+ in 85. He's still with the Minutemen in 86, but at age 25, he's riding the reserve roster listed as a relief pitcher.
