Rick Reuschel been mentioned a couple times. Compiled a nearly 70 WAR lifetime.

Higher then Jim Palmer in the same amount of seasons and about 400 less innings.

One of the better fielding pitchers of his time.

Had a strong case for the Cy Young in 1977.

Being on bad teams, low win% and a lack of analytics at the time certainly hurt his case.

If not for about 2 1/2 seasons of missed time in the early 80's due to injuries, he might have been in the high 70's WAR wise.

Got 2 votes in 1997 and gone.
