There are 7 active pitchers that have won 8+ games in at least each of the last 8 seasons.

Name them

Lackey doesn’t have a team even though he would be at 14 in a row on this list and 13 straight 10+ win seasons. Unless he’s wanting too much cash I’m surprised no one has requested his grouchy ass

I am pretty sure I heard Gio Gonzalez had double digit wins the last 8 or 9 seasons from the Reds broadcast on Easter.

Just 8 wins?

Puts into perspective when Maddux broke Cy Young record with 17 straight 15mwin seasons.

He was ridiculous. Wins don’t matter though for a pitcher

True, to a point.

His k/BB and era were fantastic as well.  Gold gloves can be over rated but he fielded his spot as good as anyone and a lost art.

For quite awhile he was a solid hitter and I remember him saying a goal was to have a higher BA than an era!

 

One of my favourite of all time.

But carry on
