I posted this once before, but in 2004, Lew Ford lead the Twins (offense anyway) in VORP with 33.7. Second was Hunter with 23.

That team went 92-70 and pretty much should have beat the Yankees in the divisional series. Won game 1, Nathan blew a save in the 12th in game 2 and they blew a 4 run lead in the 8th of game 4.

Bert Blyleven isn't either. He is 1 behind Ryan/Seaver for the modern career shutout record (he had 60).

In 1973 (age 22) he started 40 games and completed 25 of them.

Career WARP3 of 141.5.
