Awful Start

[YankeeLinks]

This rookie pitcher came up in September in the middle of a hot pennant race. He took the loss in FOUR of his team's final 18 games, the only 4 they lost over that span. His team lost the pennant by one game. Who is he?

[Xanadu Dragon]

Right away, I thought Bobby Sprowl. Not him. :(

[YankeeLinks]

Correct, it is not Sprowl

Or Salomon Torres for the Giants in 1993

Torres is the man!

Just picked up by the Pirates. At least he won't be able to blow the pennant for them.

There's a Salomon Torres sighting? Never thought I'd see him again...heh.
BTW...that's just proof at how bad the Pirates rotation is. According to reports, they're offering Jim Bibby and Bruce Kison minor league contracts soon.

Also Steve Blass. His arm is fresh because he left baseball at an early age.
