same here. Just add Mario Soto as fifth starter. He had some great years but was cursed to play on a lot of bad teams.
He had a 6 year run (80-85) where he finished in the top 10 in fewest hits per nine innings and most strike outs per nine innings every year. He actually finished in the top 5 in each of those categories 5 of those 6 years.
Soto led the league in complete games twice ('83, '84), strike outs per inning twice ('80, '82), fewest hits per inning ('80), and fewest hits + walks per inning ('82).
