Story in this weeks SI on the LOOGY's featuring 2 of the more esteemed members of this club, Arthur Rhodes and Darren Oliver. Both been in the majors forever ( 20 and 18 seasons respectively). Got me thinking how much a player can earn by being just good enough at doing one thing. Rhodes has earned 34 million in his 20 years, Oliver 39 (!!) million in his 18. I realize Oliver came up as a starter and didnt become a specialist until a few years back and Rhodes was an effective relief pitcher in general for a good part of his career until becoming a strictly lefty lefty dude but wow, thats a lot of meal money for being not exactly standout players by any means. Sucks to be me, good to be their agents. Happy Monday to all.

Over the course of baseball history, lefthanders are above .500.

Not mediocre, but quite the Loogy

Jamie Moyer will certainly get a chance to make a comeback at age 48.

Kelly Wunsch anyone?

I heard this a long time ago on MJH because Harry is/was a big Kelly Wunsch fan, but iirc Wunsch is one of the only pitchers in recorded professional history to record 5 strikeouts in 1 inning. He did this in A or AA as he was coming up.

Wunsch was one of the ugliest motherfuckers in baseball. He looked like a fuckin' catfish. His wife was hot though.
