Was able to put the Black Sox to use today, with Eddie Cicotte in the 200+ wins/<3.00 category.

I mentioned it in the Pete Rose Reinstatement thread, but I think it's pretty reasonable to think Cicotte was tracking solidly to Cooperstown if not for the Black Sox deal.

He was 36, but still had back-to-back 20 W seasons. Finished with 209 Ws and a career ERA of 2.38. If over 3 to 4 more years, he had gotten to 250 I think it's a no doubter.

Shoot, I should have thought of Ubaldo. His 2010 season in Colorado was sick, given the overall offensive numbers pitching in Coors Field.

He is literally the only decent Rockies pitcher I can think of--the other guy that pops to mind is Aaron Cook, who I remembered as an All-Star, but he never came close to an ERA under 3.00. I checked on the likes of Denny Neagle and Bret Saberhagen also, and uhh, let's say Rockies Stadium was not conducive to a late career rebirth for those guys. I took Ubaldo and the 57% hit he came with.
