He had great numbers, but not up to his prime Mets days.

Walters won games, but only had .8 more WAR than Rijo in 900 more innings and in those 900 more innings, Rijo had 400 more strikeouts.

Jim Maloney would be the only one I'd put with Rijo, but you could make a case for all 3.

It's interesting that Reds have never truly been dominant in terms of starting rotation, post dead-ball: they've had guys, but not 3 (or more) great pitchers at once.

They've always been a huge offense/defense team.

I grew up with the Big Red Machine, pitching was definitely an after thought to us kids.
