@AnthonyDiComo Tell me Bauer @BauerOutage isn't better than Senga, Peterson and Peralta. Yet he has to go to Mexico to pitch.

"Ron Guidry is not very big, maybe 140 pounds, but he has an arm like a lion".
Jerry Coleman.
"Guidry is 5 feet 11 inches tall and he weighs 162 pounds; he looks like an alter boy with a mustache.
It is almost impossible to accept that his scrawny body is capable of generating a 92-mile-per-hour fastball, but that is how Ron Guidry's heat comes at a hitter".
Tony Kornheiser.
Ron Guidry started 323 games; Sandy Koufax, 314.
Guidry’s lifetime W-L is 170-91; Koufax’s, 165-87.
Guidry’s lifetime WAR is 47.8; Koufax’s, 48.9. Guidry’s 25-3.
1978 season, Guidry had a WHIP under one (.946), made 35 starts with sixteen complete games while pitching 278 innings, earned team records for lowest ERA for a lefty (1.74), most strikeouts (248), highest win percentage (.893), and most shutouts (9).
Ron Guidry won the Cy Young Award, along with another World Series ring, and it`s a statistical ringer for Koufax’s stupendous 25-5 1963 season.
Before you bring up Guidrys higher ERA consider the fact that Koufax pitched in the era of the of the 15" mound, though it is widely recognized that the Dodgers home field and other teams had a 20" mound because the rule at that time wasnt strictly enforced as opposed to the 10" mound Guidry threw from.
From the 1968 15" mound season to the 1969 10" mound season, the MLB average era rose a half a run, the approximate difference between Koufaxs and Guidrys career era. George Steinbrenner wanted to leave Ron Guidry unprotected in the 1976 expansion draft, so he could protect veteran reliever Grant Jackson.
GM Gabe Paul begged him to protect Guidry instead.
Steinbrenner relented, but told Paul 'it’s on your head', if Guidry didn’t work out.
Ron Guidry is in my HOF!!!
