Those are Pettitte's win totals every year of his career. 149 wins in 9 seasons. thats an average of 16.5 wins per season. plus hes a lefty, which caters to yankee stadium. most importantly, he's consistent, and we already know he can handle the pressure of pitching in NY, which many pitchers have not been able to handle
Beckett was only 9-8 this year. and he's only 23, so i'm sure he's still on his first contract. it wasnt until the postseason that he really made a name for himself. i'm sure if he keeps it up he'll make what pettitte's making and more when his current contract is up |
