That was a guess on my part. Only CLE pitcher I could think of who would have been anywhere close

Greinke and Verlander have a chance if they pitch another couple of years, but he might be the last pitcher we see pass 3,500 innings in a long time. Curiosity struck, and I was actually somewhat shocked how similar Zambrano and Sabathia were from 03-09, when both were ages 22-28.

Zambrano: 1435 IP, 3.44 ERA, 131 ERA+, 1.278 WHIP, 7.7 K/9, 33.6 bWAR (walks were the big outlier)

Sabathia: 1499 IP, 3.42 ERA, 129 ERA+, 1.200 WHIP, 7.6 K/9, 32.4 bWAR

CC Sabathia

got to 3,000 strikeouts.

Why? He pitched for 19 years, figured he racked up enough K's. I was thinking of longevity guys and almost went with Bartolo Colon for Cleveland since he pitched 21 seasons but thankfully went with CC as Colon only had ~2500 strikeouts.

Mine today:

Todd Walker - Jason Kipnis - Bruce Sutter (going for rarity there)

Doug Eyechart - Dave Winfield - Johan Santana

Roger Clemens - CC Sabathia - Bob Gibson

Pitched there in 2009 and part of 2010 (before being traded to the Yankees)

He pitched against the Cubs for Cleveland. I believe he blew a save against the Cubs at Wrigley in 2009.

That sounds vaguely familiar now that you bring it up.

I don't even know whose logo that is so I doubt I will have much success with this one. Lol.

Now I see the Capitol building in the negative space of the logo. I figured that's who it was because I couldn't think of any other W teams but I didn't know for sure.
