The most underappreciated 8 year pitching stretch in MLB History?

The offense on that team had to be historically atrocious.

Pete Ward led the team with 15 HR and 50 RBI. Even in the year of the pitcher that's pretty anemic. The entire team hit 71 HR.

I think Stan Bahnsen is more underappreciated.

He was number two in the Sox effort to replicate

Spahn, Sain and pray for rain.

We need some modern equivalents.

Syndergaard, deGrom, and pray for a bomb?

Tim Hudson has always been a guy I thought flew under the radar. He was a really great pitcher and won nearly 100 more games than he lost in a tough era to do that.

I liked Hudson, and he's definitely superior to even some recently elected HOF ptichers, but I doubt he gets in. He was very consistent but rarely remarkable.
