From 1979-91, he had 33 more wins than the next winningest pitcher over that period.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-80373029349143896122009-01-14T18:56:00.000-05:002009-01-14T18:56:00.000-05:00Eric Chase,You and I will have to agree to disagre...Eric Chase,<BR/>You and I will have to agree to disagree on that one. The last two things I think the Lions should do is sign a veteran QB or draft an offensive lineman - particularly first overall. Offensive line isn't a strength, but it's less of weakness than defense and QB. They need to find a QB for the long term, not short term.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-90931697945148577152009-01-14T17:53:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:53:00.000-05:00Phil,Couldn't agree with you more about Morris.

So much emphasis is placed on raw stats and the claim that he would have the highest ERA ever in the HOF that there has been a complete loss of perspective here. Come on. This guy was the winningest pitcher in the 1980's, was the ace on 3 world series staff's in 1984, 1991 and 1992.

I don't think there will be much enthusiasm with the same crap in the BP that we had the last 2 years. <BR/><BR/>With Rip I think he will benefit. He will still get his minutes. I think he provides more coming off the bench. 1 he can spell both TP and or AI.
