AGSS shows just
how dominating Francisco Liriano was in 2006 as he finishes ahead of
teammate Johan Santana for top honors. That 75.3 number by the way is a
completely dominating number that far exceeds that of the 2005 leader (Roger
Clemens, 63.5). If he hadn't been injured, Liriano most likely would have
produced a historic season (he is out all of 2007 after TJ surgery). Another
rookie who pitched less than a full season was the Angels Jered Weaver
who's AGSS of 65.7 was not only the third best mark in all of baseball
for any pitcher with more than 15 starts, it was also almost 50% better than
older brother Jeff's mark (46.4).
