Great answer :)
Didn't realize the K/9 rates were so low at that time. I would always glance at the season total K numbers and they look similar to the leaders of the 90's, but huge IP difference of course. Dang, even Bob Gibson in his historic season was only at 7.9. I see Koufax topped 10 several times. The difference between him and league average must have been similar to Randy Johnson.
Re: the fangraphs story as much as I dislike the Yankess I can't help but root and be happy for Pineda. Hope he comes all the way back and stays healthy.
