Pretty absurd that Mike Mussina has never been picked in our drafts before. What an underrated pitcher. He can make a damn good HOF case considering he pitched his entire career in the AL East in horrible pitchers parks in the height of the steroid era.

There are a lot of really good guys that haven't been picked though. Mussina was good, but even with 10 teams, you'd have tobe one of the 50 best starters EVER to crack . Is he that? No way IMO

He's 18th all time in pitching WAR and 270 wins. I have all the love for Andy Pettitte obviously as a Yankees fan but he gets picked every time and Mussina was the better pitcher. Probably could come up with more if I looked harder

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't know why I thought I could wait on Mussina, nice pick 500. A guy doesn't have to be top 50, sometimes our rules make it impossible to actually draft the best 50 starters. I ain't sure he's never been drafted before I actually think he has...

I did text Smitty.

I did a site search for him and his name never came up

You're right on his numbers, he is probably top 50. I guess my deal is, if you go through every starting pitcher in the mocks, there was at least one year in nearly all their careers when they were considered the #1 best pitcher in the game. Moose was consistent, but I don't remember that for him

Mussina much better than Petite imo. But people reach for lefties.

He has, but I'm not sure it was an All time

I think Pettitte gets picked more for his postseason stats more than being lefty. He pitched some huge games like out dueling Smoltz in the 96 WS but also had clunkers people forget like Game 6 2001 WS

Idk if that's the case with all the 5th starters. Again what people miss with Moose is he pitched only in Camden Yards and Yanker stadium, in the AL East only and during the height of the steroid era. If he pitched in a different era he is thought of differently

 

[Nosferatu]

In Mussina's early Orioles days I don't remember many pitchers I hated the Twins facing more. I also think 500 nailed it on Pettitte he was more known for his playoff starts than anything else.

I think both are pretty close but when you take into account Andy being a lefty that's why he is always selected. There isn't a huge list of great left handed pitchers like there is with righties.
