More Wins Than Cliff Lee, Part 3
Phillies ace Cliff Lee departed his Friday start against the Marlins with two outs in the fifth, having allowed six runs on ten hits. Which means we enter July with Lee somehow winless in his 14 starts despite a respectable 4.13 ERA.
In recognition of this statistically quirky phenomenon, here's another collection of pitchers with more wins than Cliff Lee, each one ranging from mediocre to maligned to miserable.
Clay Buchholz (8 wins, 5.53 ERA)
Christian Friedrich (4 wins, 5.86 ERA)
Nick Blackburn (4 wins, 7.74 ERA)
Mike Minor (3 wins, 6.14 ERA)
Philip Humber (3 wins, 6.01 ERA)
Jake Arrieta (3 wins, 5.81 ERA)
Tommy Hunter (3 wins, 5.67 ERA)
Tim Lincecum (3 wins, 5.60 ERA)
Jason Marquis (3 wins, 5.83 ERA)
Tyson Ross (2 wins, 6.35 ERA)
Randy Wolf (2 wins, 5.78 ERA)
Hector Noesi (2 wins, 5.50 ERA)
Chris Davis (He's a position player, and has a win.)
Jeff Mathis (A catcher. One win. Seriously.)
Apparently, they're handing wins out like candy this year. Cliff Lee just hasn't been able to get in on the action.

More Wins Than Cliff Lee, Part 2
Part 2 of the series: pitchers for the 2012 Minnesota Twins--all of whom are, without fail, terrible--with more wins than Cliff Lee.
Scott Diamond
Nick Blackburn
Jeff Gray
Carl Pavano
P.J. Walters
Jason Marquis
Alex Burnett
Francisco Liriano
Anthony Swarzak
Brian Duensing
Glen Perkins
Matt Capps
Cole DeVries
Matt Maloney
What a sad group of pitchers. Francisco Liriano, once so dominant, has an ERA of 6.24. Marquis was cut by the Twins weeks ago. No one's really sure who 'Jeff Gray' is, or why he chose such a generic alias, or who he's hiding from. I think Cole DeVries is a prominent 19th-century industrialist.
And yet they all have at least one win. Poor Cliff Lee.
