The Hartford Yard Goats select, RP and mustache aficionado Dennis Eckersley

Ecks give the Yard Goats not only an elite closer, but a closer that has no problem pitching more than 1 inning. A devastating FB/SL combo from a sidearm delivery paired with being able to put the pitch exactly were he wants it made him a good starting pitcher, but moving to the bullpen and distilling that into a 1, 2, or even 3 inning burst made him a baseball immortal.

Stats as a Relief Pitcher (total career):

789.2 IP (3285.2)
46 Wins (197)
2.96 ERA (3.50)
0.99 WHIP (1.16)
774 Strikeouts (2401)
6.79 K/BB (3.25)
136 ERA+ (116)

The Jamestown Jammers are proud to select SP Gaylord Perry. This Hall of Famer has a 90.4 WAR, a 117 ERA+, 314 wins, 3534 strikeouts, a 3.11 ERA, and a 1.181 WHIP. He has 2 Cy Youngs and 5 All-Star games.

"Gaylord Jackson Perry (born September 15, 1938) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher. He pitched from 1962 to 1983 for eight different teams. During a 22-year baseball career, Perry compiled 314 wins, 3,534 strikeouts, and a 3.11 earned run average. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. Perry, a five-time All-Star, was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in each league, winning it in the American League in 1972 with the Cleveland Indians and in the National League in 1978 with the San Diego Padres. He is also distinguished, along with his brother Jim, for being part of the second-winningest brother combination in baseball history—second only to the knuckleballing Niekro brothers, Phil and Joe.[1] While pitching for the Seattle Mariners in 1982, Perry became the fifteenth member of the 300 win club."

The Hartford Yard Goats select, RP Hoyt Wilhelm

Instead of going with the traditional Righty/Lefty back-end bullpen, the Yard Goats are going to go Traditional/Nontraditional at the back. Hoyt's wicked and legendary knuckleball will serve as a nasty change of pace from the rest of the staff, and league, giving hitters fits throwing his knuckler almost exclusively. Being a knuckleball pitcher will also allow the Yard Goats to deploy him liberally throughout the season and in most, if not all, post season games and for multiple innings when needed.

143 Wins (124 in relief, MLB Record)
228 Saves (First pitcher to record 200+ saves)
1070 Games (First MLB pitcher to appear in 1000+ games)

2.52 ERA / 147 ERA+ (Only full time RP to win the ERA Title)
1.12 WHIP
1610 Strikeouts

The Hartford Yard Goats are proud to go into overkill mode and select, RP Billy Wagner

You always need a southpaw in the bullpen, so why not get the most dominant pure relief lefty? This will ensure that the Yard Goats will always have a hammer coming out of the pen when needed and will be able to play match-ups if they so choose to.

47 Wins
422 Saves

2.31 ERA / 187 ERA+
2.73 FIP
0.99 WHIP

1196 Strikeouts (11.9 per 9)
