August 18, 200719 yr With the exception of 97, Livan sucked with us. He benefitted from the world's biggest strikezone in the series against Atlanta and had a really nice run in the playoffs. There are many better pitchers in Marlins history. Adjusted ERA+ Rank Player ERA+ IP 1. Josh Beckett 117 609.0 2. Dontrelle Willis 113 970.7 3. A.J. Burnett 110 853.7 4. Brad Penny 103 781.7 5.

Of course, I didn't realize at the time how big the strike zone was...but oh well. He was awesome in the playoffs that year, big strike zone or not.
August 18, 200719 yr I thought Sanchez had the lowest ERA in 06'? The way Baseball-reference.com does it is they have to have pitched one inning per game the team played. He didn't meet the requirement.s

August 21, 200719 yr Shocking lack of love for Devon White. Really the most under-appreciated "key" member of '97. Ditto Al Leiter. IMO, the rotation has to be Beckett, Brown, Leiter, Penny and Willis hey i named him lol
