Curious why you put that in quotes, when that wasn't remotely what I said?
For the record, Ryan would have been my favorite pitcher of that era. If I were to start collecting any pitcher during that time, it would be Ryan.
I wasn't sh*tting on him, I was just making a point for why players who you could argue were more effective then him, such as Seaver and Carlton (hardly a revolutionary idea), are not collected as aggressively as Ryan.
