    I am guessing it is not someone obvious.

    BTW, I am sure there has to be a minimum number of starts for someone to be considered.

    What is the minimum amount of starts?

    It has to be either Randy Johnson or Roger Clemens.

    The article didn't say about the minimum number of starts, but this guy has been a regular starter.

    Incorrect on Wells, Clemens and Johnson.

    as for long-term starters, Jamie Moyer? Proof that you don't need a blazing fastball to be a winner.

    I wouldn't say obvious, but you've definitely heard of him. Major just got it via IM.

    Rm95,

    IF you and the chick don't get back together, does that mean you will be coming back here to us in Austin?

    That's why I've never liked him MadMax. :p

    DD, I dunno. I'm staying in Dallas until at least the end of August. If I'm planning on going to law school, Houston would probably be my best bet.

    Apparently, Baseball Weekly lies. Randy's got a better %. Bastards.

    That can't be right.

    Since 1996, I have Johnson at 126-44, which would be a .741%.

    EDIT: Actually, I don't know if thats supposed to include the 96 season or not. If not, he is 121-44, .711%.
