Wes Ferrell of the career 4.04 ERA? Come on now. Rick was a terrible choice. Wes would have been, too.

Wes should've been an outfielder. Though I would like to point out that his career ERA was 16% better than his contemporaries in this era of explosive offenses. Jack Morris's career ERA was only 5% better than his contemporaries...

As mentioned, I'd put Wes in way before I ever put in Jack Morris or Jesse Haines or Burleigh Grimes. Wes was an absolute freak. Check out his batting statistics while being one of the better pitchers of his era.

In 1935 Wes won 25 games and hit 347.
