2008 - Dustin McGowan 4-4 13 13 0 0 0 0 76.0 79 39 36 3 30 60 4.26 1.43

Meet Dustin McGowan. Dustin McGowan throws really hard. In fact, according to Fangraphs, he's had the highest average fastball velocity among starting pitchers so far this year at 95.0mph. A year ago he stood at 94.7mph, so this is no fluke. He's got a hell of an arm, and if it's dark out and you squint a little bit you can sort of see bits of King Felix. This will not be an easy game. But then there're never any easy games so go to hell McGowan, you're not special. Smug son of a bitch.

Ok backup outfielder

Probably one of the better players on the team. he could save us many many runs with his glove if only…

by JI on Jun 10, 2008 3:37 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He doesn't suck

range in the OF, hopefully hits enough to be a useful fourth outfielder or maybe a regular if he gets really lucky.

by seattlebruin on Jun 10, 2008 3:37 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

he's my bro in law D:

but it’s refreshing to see the majority here like him.

A lot of people around here are fans of his, at least compared to a lot of the other people on this team.

Jeff needs to get information to you

so you can take it to Jeremy and he take it to his coaches and the front office.

Dustin McGowan looks like he's auditioning for Teen Wolf.

That is the worst facial hair I have ever seen.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

That's seven months with absolutely no shaving.
