& Britt Burns.

When Britt Burns was on, he was a killer. Just looked, his ERA was about the same as K Wood(actually a tick lower), damn near threw as many innings in about 5-7 years less, and imo was a better big game pitcher than the great Kerry Wood.

For a season, Jose Contreras or Sutcliffe.

I'll have to look that up. That is pretty interesting. I don't remember much about Burns except that heartbreaking loss to Baltimore in the playoffs. Your list is similar to mine except I picked Rick Reushel instead of Burns.

for two halves Jason Bere was terrific. Only real "horse" sox have developed in my lifetime. Big, strong 95plus heat. lots of Ks.

I still don't understand how that team failed to make the playoffs. Big upset. They probably would have won the World Series one year before the Sox did.

89 wins.

One more than the previous year's division winner.

They had major bullpen issues. Borowski ran out of magic and Hawkins was awful

They choked in the last week, lost 7 of their final 9 games. Too concerned with what Stone and Caray were saying rather than worrying about beating the Mets.
