Talk:Doc's First Ten Years: Goodenough?/@comment-101836-20060405103134

I agree with Anonymous Fanatic. Although I think a 1.16 WHIP is more than acceptible, his ERA isn&quot;t stellar for the era he was pitching in. For a guy with a less-than-stellar ERA and not that many Ks, he needed more wins than he got. You need to balance out some of those weaknesses with strong points, and I don&quot;t think Gooden had it. I think he&quot;ll go down as a pitcher that was one of the best for the first three or four years of his career, but just couldn&quot;t sustain it.
