Question of the Day...

I've got to say no. He's generally been a good but not great player. How often can you say he was one of the 5-10 best pitchers in the league in a given year? Heck, he wasn't even the best starter on his team most of the time. I don't think there's even a discussion if he's not a Yankee.

 

One other comment: if you don't think he's in based on his regular season numbers, his playoff numbers shouldn't really put him over the top...

 

Regular season: 3.88 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 6.6 k/9, 2.8 BB/9, .8 HR/9

playoffs (41 career starts): 3.87 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 5.9 k/9, 2.5 BB/9, 1.1 HR/9

Hmmmm, looking at those numbers, I am starting to back-track on my "yes" answer. Now that I think about it, the reason his postseason numbers seem so good is because he played in the LDS era with the best team around, so he started way more games than anyone else had the opportunity too.
