Another vote for [b:5049267989]Stieb[/b:5049267989] (7.00+ ERA) and [b:5049267989]Drabek[/b:5049267989] (6.00+ ERA) pitching 50% games in a pitching park (home) / division.
Both pitchers had six outings each and had WHIPS > 1.60. Of course, we had homerun issues too. :x
Who is that pitcher who...

Stieb is one of MY favorite pitchers.
His one bad year is easy to spot since the platoon is so opposite from his good years (usually he's either even or has a strong reverse platoon.) He's not easy to draft, and I think its worth riding out any number of bad games if the platoon looks right. All his good years are awesome.
I guess one reason I like him is that he's almost always performed for me. His combined record on my teams is 89-48 in two full seasons and four partial seasons. The partial seasons include two mid-season pickups (16-8, 14-10), one drop (6-5), and one current (9-6 in less than a half season). In the two full seasons when I've had him, he was 24-9 and 20-10. Not too shabby.
Maybe I've been lucky, but, yeah, I like Stieb a lot. :D

OF,
I have five leagues underway or done and Stieb and Drabek are on the waivers in four of those leagues (min).
Not arguing that the cards are bad but they don't seem to respond well to early outings.
In my three drops, I have been in pitching parks and have allowed them min six outings each. When they get bombed by the same teams - that is a sign not to give them too much rope.
Oddly, I have had average Allan Anderson cards play 50% better than Stieb's and Drabek's.

Sid and Nolan

Actually, these guys don't get drafted all the time. Sid is simply not worth the money, being a 6. Wish he were a 6*, then it would be more balanced for him.
They ALL get dropped a lot. Guidry and DOC especially.
