The amazing John Rocker!

Using the mid-2002 roster set, I simmed a season using John Rocker as the one and only member of the Rangers pitching staff. He pitched 162 complete games and finished the season 28-134 with a 12.10 ERA. He battled through 36 separate DTD injuries and even pitched a shutout! However his final statistics show his ERA to be 0.67. Apparently there is a bug that prevents the computer from properly calculating a pitcher's ERA if there are too many innings pitched or earned runs allowed. Rocker won the Cy Young so obviously number of losses is not factored into the voting system.
