    Really? You consider records of

    4-4
    12-14
    14-7
    9-11
    19-5
    13-12
    14-14
    13-9
    and
    12-10

    to consist of more than 1 solid season?

    I understand the whole run support not being there, but the guy has had only 1 solid season.

    W/L records are one of the worst ways to rate a pitcher.

    If a pitcher strikes out 27 guys a game, and has a 1.00 era, never walks anyone, hits .400, never throws a wild pitch, and throws a complete game every time out, but goes 0-20, is that his fault?

    Which year is his "one solid year"? 2009 when he went 19-5 and finished 2nd in cy young voting?

    Because he lead the league in era and IP in 2010 when he went 13-12...and WON the cy young

    The guy has a career 3.2 ERA... He is a top 10 pitcher in the MLB at the very least. Closer to top 5.

    Run support IS the reason why his record isn't great.
