Geoff, Hasn't ESPN been talking about setting up shop somewhere on the West coast? That might finally mean that they will start paying more attention to the West coast as far as coverage goes. Has anyone else heard of this or was I dreaming?

Before Benes, the last one I see is Ed Whitson. I guess we could all agree the Padres haven't produced a lot of quality starters.

By the way, Kevin Jarvis has to one of the worst pitchers to pitch 700+ innings and never be good. He never had an ERA better than the lgERA. A 6.03 career ERA.

#49@Tom Waits: I can see that, but I would argue that quality has to be more than one season. And of a "high quality." Which might take us back to Benes.

#48@Kevin: That 116 ERA+ in 2001 is well above-average, but it was only 114 innings. If you were looking at him after 2002, he sure seems like the kind of young pitcher you'd want to protect via a strong bullpen. Of course by then it might have been too late, since he threw 210 innings that year, about 40 more than he ever had before. Yay Bochy.

#29@Schlom: #35@Tom Waits: #37@Pat: I wouldn't count Brian Lawrence as a quality starter. His best seasons 2001: 5-5, 3.45 ERA in 114.2 innings, 4.01 lgERA 2002: 12-12, 3.69 ERA in 210 innings, 3.74 lgERA Those are average seasons. The rest were below average. One of the definitions of "quality" is high grade; superiority; excellence. For pitchers, I would say borderline All-Star or All-Star would be quality. By the way, look, I'm responding to three posts. Sweet.
