The last Oriole SP to throw 200 IP that was drafted by the Orioles

Archer was not drafted by the Rays and neither was Garza.

Correct.

There are maybe five pitchers in baseball who average 7 innings per start.

Kershaw 7

Arrieta 6.9

Scherzer 6.9

Lackey 6.6

Dickey 6.48

Those are some of the top innings guys with the most starts.

I hope we aren't talking guys with 16 starts for comparison.

Sorry you have nothing better to do. I'm sure things will pick up. Hang in there.

And why bother. Some of the usual suspects were quick to derail the thread.

I should say "suspect". Atleast some tried to discuss.

14 player pitched 200 or more innings year. 8 had winning records. I'm not that interested in 200 innings as much as innings per start.

Tillman started 31 games last year. But averaged 5.58 innings a start. That's terrible. I'd rather see a pitcher intentionally miss a turn in the rotation every month and go more than 7 inning per start.

Ubaldo made 32 starts and average 5.75 innings per start, again, that's bad.

When your most reliable starters can't be relied upon to pitch 7 innings, or even past 6, you have a problem.

Who are these guys and how many starts do they make. If you have Tillman and Jimenez giving you 180 innings and your 7 inning guy only makes 20 starts, you need to add 40 innings to your bullpen or rely on your sixth starter for a dozen starts.

In the AL, you mean? In terms of individual IP last year, the first Oriole who appears on the list is Chen at #35. Next is Ubaldo at #48 (Gallardo was #46).

As for total IP by starters, the O's were 22nd in MLB last year.
