You got 3 starters like that and win 1 series, that's a damn shame.

So do you want to discredit Griffey, Bonds, Ted Williams, Ichiro, Mattingly, Fisk, Gwynn and any other number of hall of famers who never won
any? It's remarkably hard to win just one title, let alone several. To lay the blame at the feet of an individual for a lack of team success (which the Braves didn't even
have) is flawed. He won the series once, pitched in the series
five times, and pitched in the NLCS
nine times, with fantastic postseason numbers. There's only so much you can lay at a guy's feet before you're just reaching.
