Just another note about '90-'92 as modifiers, I think that time period has a nice balance. The elite starting pitchers will give you 230-240 IP in a season, but the bullpen is still important. Top relievers with great stuff will be at the 13-14K/9 range if not better, top strike out starters can get into the 10s. So the great stuff guys get their Ks, but the numbers aren't off the charts. Sluggers with high K rates will still strike out 150-180 times in a season instead of being well up into the 200s.
