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
