My compliments to my Rockies Special Correspondent Marc Stout for showing initiative.
Each day, I spew out facts, figures, and nonsense and occasionally a member of the media will use it or do some follow-up work. But despite the fact that Marc doesn’t have his Rockies pre-game forum to share the info with his fans, Marc still did some homework.
Yesterday, I posted the pitchers who have lost at least 10 games in each of the last four seasons
| Rk | Yrs | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | James Shields | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 2 | Wandy Rodriguez | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 3 | Justin Masterson | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 4 | Derek Lowe | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 5 | Francisco Liriano | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 6 | Dan Haren | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 7 | Jeremy Guthrie | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 8 | Gavin Floyd | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 9 | Kevin Correia | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
| 10 | Bronson Arroyo | 4 | Ind. Seasons |
Marc took the list and checked out their current salaries (or last year’s salary if they are a free agent)
