This year's Verlander & Weaver?

[Minnesota4Ever]

Of course. I think Slowey has been very effective in all of his starts, which is why I compared him to those two. He is not Liriano though, but who is.

Verlander: 17-9, 186 IP, 3.63 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 124 K
Weaver: 11-2, 123 IP, 2.56 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 105 K
Liriano: 12-3, 121 IP, 2.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 144 K

Slowey: 3-0, 33.1 IP, 5.13 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 17 K

He's pitching awful. Just so happens the Twins have scored 41 runs in his six starts.

Buck, you've just given me enough confidence to proclaim that I could win a big-league game. I'd only have to go five innings without giving up more than seven runs.

He ain't a rook. Just wanted to point that out.

You should have pointed that out a long time ago and saved yourself the headache. You probably ought to remove him from your poll, too.

Didn't realize he pitched too many innings last season.

You know, on an American League team, I think that might get you a 10th-place Cy Young vote, too. :D

Especially since my out pitch is what the Little League kids referred to as a rainbow. It's a long story. Suffice it to say that Rainbow Ronnie won his first start in remarkable fashion and etches his name in the annals of Podunk City sports history. There are 40-year-old men who in my hometown who could tell you all about Rainbow Ronnie. But they wouldn't recognize me today if I danced naked in their living rooms. Of course, I gave up that line of work a few years ago. They called me Rainbow Ronnie then, too. But that was for a different curvature, one that's since been surgically corrected.
