Since we've already strayed far off the original topic, for the 3 years that Lee was a healthy starting pitcher in Boston (1973,74,&75) he won 17 games each year, completing 51 of his 104 starts. He broke his arm in the 1975 infamous brawl against the Yankees, and was never the same again.

Bill Lee had one really good year 1973
He was pretty good in 74 and 75 but Lester has had 4 seasons better than these years. Lee had a lot of complete games but that wasnt unusual then and he was 10th in the league in 1973 and 9th in 1975. He actually had his 2nd best season with Montreal in 1979 and pitched relatively effectively from 77-79 considering he had lost his durability and couldnt strikeout anyone.

Lee and teammate Rick Wise had eerily similar numbers in 1975
Lee had 17 wins, 35 starts, 3.95 era, 1.32 WHIP, 260 IP, 272 hits and 69 BB's
Wise has 19 wins, 34 starts, 3.95 era, 1.31 WHIP, 255 IP, 262 hits and 72 BB's.

should have included their hitting stats, as both could really swing the stick, especially Wise. Kind of like how I hit about .600 when i was pitching, probably cause we were gonna need plenty of runs to win, since I was pitching.

Excuse me! This is a thread about HOCKEY, not baseball.
