worse than park?

appier was very good in the 90s with k.c. until he hurt his arm. he also pitched decent for the 2002 angels team that won the world series.

I actually think Hampton is a good pitcher who spent most of his career in hitters parks. Hell, houston, Coors, and seattle when they had the kingdome. On top of that 13 years and a carreer era less then 4. Seems to me like he his worth the bucks.

Might I add one of the better hitting pitchers.
