+1 Charboneau was my first thought, another would be Ron Kittle.

Dontrelle Willis 2005

22-10 2.63 ERA 5 SO 7 CG

72-69 career over 4.00 ERA

[Jay Wolt]

Like Brady Anderson, Luis Gonzalez 2001 season had to be a fluke.
He hit .325 w/ 57 home runs & 142 RBI, no other season of his came close to any of those marks.

Does this count as a "fluke"

Steve Stone going 25-8 and winning the Cy Young Award. The next season he was 5-8.

what about the thought process in reverse. Adam dunn just, 1 season ago not even comming close to his normal 40 or so HR, that hes pretty steady with. Where he hit only 11, then the following year, he was right back to 41

I think we need to test you for fishing PED's Johnny. I notice you caught bigger first last season than any year before

I was gonna point that out....25-8, 3.23 ERA.

He never had more than 15 wins in a season(and even that was only 1 season..next highest was 12 wins), and his next lowest ERA was 3.77 ERA.

He was out of baseball after only one more season.

Also Daren Erstad in the Angels championship season in 2002.. .355 BA. Never hit over .299 any other season.

My numbers were slightly off...he was 25-7 followed by 4-7.

Sort of a different take on flukes, but somehow last year Zach Cozart managed to hit 15 home runs while only driviing in 35 runs.
