Don Drysdale
Claude Osteen

Was pretty good

I always thought that the 2001 M's staff ERA+ of 119 was pretty impressive, although I don't have a whole lot of context for that. Otherwise, most of the really good rotations that I have seen pitch have been mentioned.

The one/two punch of Johnson and Schilling with the 2001 Diamondbacks was something special. They finished 1/2 in the NL with an ERA+ (184/154), Strikeouts (372/293), Innings Pitched (256.7/249.7), and both were 20+ game winners... that was the year Morris won 22 and fought tooth and nail with Schilling in games 1 and 5 of the NLDS.

The average #1 starter has about a 120 ERA+. So...

I didn't see Gibby at his best. but from the mid-70's til now the best pitcher the Cards have had is John Tudor, hands down.
