Craig Lefferts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Craig Lindsay Lefferts (born September 29, 1957 in Munich, Germany) was a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs (1983), San Diego Padres (1984-87 and 1990-92), San Francisco Giants (1987-89), Baltimore Orioles (1992), Texas Rangers (1993) and California Angels (1994).
He helped the Padres win the 1984 NL Pennant and the Giants win the 1987 NL Western Division and 1989 NL Pennant.
In the winter of 1985 he was offered to the New York Mets in exchange for CF Lenny Dykstra. Frank Cashen, then Mets GM at the time, declined the offer. The Mets later acquired Bobby Ojeda instead.
The 86 Games he pitched in during 1986 not only led the National League but remains a Padres single season record.
As of the end of the 2005 season he ranks 76th on the MLB All-Time Games Pitched List (696).
In 12 seasons he had a win-loss record of 58-72, 45 games started, 1 complete game, 286 games finished, 101 saves, 1,145 2/3 innings, 1,108 hits allowed, 490 runs allowed, 436 earned runs allowed, 120 home runs allowed, 322 walks allowed, 719 strikeouts, 31 wild pitches, 4,754 batters faced, 55 intentional walks, 10 balks and a 3.43 ERA.
