I had 1997 Greg Maddux in an open league (before the last 2 updates) who started a season 22-2. He had only 11 BB in just under 200 IP at that point, and had pitched 5 CG shutouts. In his last 12 starts, he went 2-5, to finish 24-7. He was in a 4-pitcher starting rotation and never pitched at less than 100%. The team finished 72-90, and Maddux was the only SP with a winning record.
I have tried 1997 Maddux several times since in open leagues and $80M theme leagues, but his results have never been anything close to this great start.
