Gibson had a 6 year career. In 610 innings he went 38-31 with an era of
3.85 which would've been higher than average for the time.
He got injured only twice and they were both minor. 1-2 weeks each. I guess injuries had nothing to do with his development.
Saberhagen
10 Cy Youngs - 17 All-star appearences.
He pitched 19 years spending most of his years with Cincinnati, the New York Giants, and the Chicago Cubs. His last 3 years were spent with New York and the St. Louis Cardinals. The first two of the last 3 with The Yankees. He put together 25 and 18 win seasons. His last season he had an 18 win season.
Naturally - being so much better than all the other pitchers - he was on a lot of league winning teams. He went to the world series 7 times.
88 - Cincy - lost series
91 - Giants - lost series
93 - Giants - lost series
96 - Cubbies - lost series
97 - Cubbies - lost series
98 - Cubbies - Won World Series!
99 - Cubbies - lost world series
So he only won 1 title in 7 tries.
In the playoffs he went 4-8 with a 2.44 ERA
led his league in wins 7 times
led his league in strikeouts 13 times (1992-2000) - 358 in 1996
led his league in ERA 12 times (1992-2001)
led his league in WHIP 16 times
Led his league in VORP 12 times - 143.3 in 1994
Led his league in shutouts 8 times.
Easily the best pitcher ever.
