I don't know, the Niekro boys ate up a lot of innings, well into their 40's , I believe. With that lineup , he can be successful with a 4 something era
He had a stupendous season followed by a very good season even when people were keying on him. And, he's the type of receiver whose skills you cannot draft readily. In the NFL, you usually get one big contract. I can't deny anyone that.
Cleveland Indians vs. Texas Rangers for the pennant. ( if possible).
You have to figure maybe 2 wildcards will come from the AL west with 3 good teams and the astros in their division? I say all 3 get 90 wins. So the Yankees need to win their division to sniff a playoff round. Fat chance, I say.
