Four Twenty Game Winners
Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 10:44 amAfter having three 20 game winners in a recent rotation (Dierker, Bunker, Reed), I wondered if anyone had ever had four in one season.

He didn't mention it in his posting, but John's fourth pitcher, Dick Drago, ended up with 17 wins.
In that particular league, nine pitchers ended up with at least 20 wins, and John's team had three of them. It is a very noteworthy accomplishment for an individual pitcher. Each pitcher has to win at least 50% of their starts (assuming 40 starts), and either be a workhorse pitching complete games or have a reliable bullpen which isn't going to blow leads for the starting pitcher.
Heck, I consider the season a success if I can win at least 50% of my games!!
