you guys have hit all the major pitcher "manias" in the last few decades...to back it up just a bit further...here are a few more...
J.R. Richard,
Vida Blue,
and the most amazing one of all...from the "media"/national-limelight point of view (if you're too young to remember it...ask a baseball fan with grey [or NO] hair...)
Mark "the Bird" Fidrych...
this guy had it all (but only for a while unfortunately, till an injury screwed up his delivery) AND had an unbelievable set of quirky habits that made him the centre of the the baseball world's attention whenever he started over the few month's that were his regrettably-short major-league heyday...if anybody remembers Mark Fidrych...chime in here (best example of hi-intensity "flash in the pan" i know of)...his flame burnt a short time...but oh so brilliantly (and he was the most amazingly entertaining pitcher i can ever recall)

The Bird was the best.
I loved watching that guy talk to the ball, the bases etc.
Was pumping gas between his 1st and 2nd seasons.....no huge contracts then for rookies.

And constantly "lanscaping" the mound, especially at the beginning of each inning...more idiosyncrasies than you could shake a stick at...(I'm sure he'd be diagnosed with one/some of the ADD/OCD/Asperger's etc. conditions today)...but at the heart of it all a very very effective pitcher (damn shame how a string of bio-mechanical complications snuffed out a very promising career)

6/20 Two Teamer CWS and Dodgers pays just over 2x your bet.
(.50x)
for those that think he was all hyped up cuz of the oddball mannerisms, consider this:
his rookie season he went 19-9, with a league-leading era of 2.39...he was damn good...and just happened to be as entertaining as hell
_____________
anyhow, enough on fiddy...bak to "makin' money with pacocn"...but it was an interesting diversion brought on by considering the brewing "dickey" sensation (sounds like the title of a porn movie)

I have Betancourt on my fantasy team. He is nothing short of awful. This Rockies pen is a joke.
