La Russa was criticized for allowing Morris to throw 131 pitches in a complete-game victory at Milwaukee in August 1998.
Rick Ankiel: La Russa was so concerned about Ankiel's ability to handle pressure before Game 1 of the playoff series with Atlanta last fall that he sent Darryl Kile to the interview room under the dishonest premise that Kile would start Game 1.
The La Russa-Duncan years in Oakland (1986-95) were inconclusive because they had a veteran staff and weren't required to develop many young pitchers.

 Baseball Toaster : Mike's Baseball Rants : November 2005
For those of you how are two young to remember, Hoyt won 24 games for the White Sox back in 1983, when they had a cartoon batter logo on the front of their uniforms and Harold Baines was the mayor of Chicago.
Hoyt won the Cy Young despite a 3.66 ERA, 1.24 runs higher than league leader Rick "Don't Call me BJ" Honeycutt (who was traded midseason to the NL), and 115 adjusted ERA (52 points worse than Honeycutt).
Hoyt had just one more season with the Sox and was out of baseball altogether in three seasons.

 Bucky Dent
By the age of 21, he was playing shortstop for the Chicago White Sox.
The pressure of taking the position over from the legendary Luis Aparicio proved too much, and in 1977 the White Sox would trade him to the New York Yankees for slugger Oscar Gamble, future Cy Young Award winner La Marr Hoyt and $200200,000.
Once in New York, Dent was nicknamed Bucky by second baseman Willie Randolph, who thought that Dent's overbite was too pronounced.

 Baseball Toaster : The Griddle : May 2006
Dotson and La Russa also admitted after the game that they hadn't gone over the scouting report for Drumright, anticipating that Shooty Babitt would start at second base, but Babitt's lack of production was earning him a spot in Martin's doghouse, a place where many went in and few ever came out.
La Russa was not afraid to use his bullpen as the White Sox had just 20 complete games.
The 25 hits by the Dodgers were an L.A. record breaking the previous highs of 24 against Arizona on 9/2/2002 and Chicago on 8/20/1974.

That was the team that changed uniforms again, that time into something remotely resembling the beautifully hideous rainbow unis of the Houston Astros.
It featured a hirsute pitcher, La Marr Hoyt, who was their ace.
Carlton Fisk was their stalwart at catcher (a thought that still makes red Sox fans wretch nearly a quarter century after Haywood Sullivan let him escape to Chicago because we tendered him a contract offer too late).

Hoyt led the AL in wins in 1982 too but didn't get any CYA votes.
By that standard, La Marr Hoyt is the 4th least deserving winner ever, trailing only Orel Hershiser, Vida Blue, and Tungsten McNougat.
Hell, I think "Bartolo Colon" is a funnier name than "La Marr Hoyt." For that matter, "Johan Santana" is a pretty funny name too, when you think about it.

 1983 AL Stargell Award
He hit.289 with 26 home runs and 86 RBI; he was also credited for working with a pitching staff that included Cy Young-winner La Marr Hoyt and 22-game winner Richard Dotson.
The White Sox were widely picked to repeat in 1984, but the season proved to be a disaster; Fisk suffered a stomach muscle strain in the spring, and hit under.200 for several weeks before going on the disabled list.
He was unsure about whether the pain from the year before would return; he was also unhappy that Hoyt had been traded for shortstop prospect Ozzie Guillen.

Even after the Go-Go Sox hustled their way to a pennant for owner Bill Veeck in 1959 (losing to the Dodgers in six in the World Series), the Sox could never again really get their act together, at least not well enough to get back to the World Series.
Although they had some pretty good players (Luis Aparicio, Nellie Fox, Early Wynn, Hoyt Wilhelm, Bill Melton, Tommy John, Dick Allen, Goose Gossage, Jim Kaat, Carlton Fisk) and some pretty good teams between 1960 and 1983, they only came really close in 1964, finishing a game behind the last winner of the 1947-1964 Yankee dynasty.
However, they lost in four in the AL championship series to the Orioles, and holes in the rest of the lineup, to say nothing of ’83 aces Rich Dotson and La Marr Hoyt being flashes in the pan, soon ended that dream.

But the last time neither side could boast a starter with a career top two finish in the Cy Young voting was 1984, when Charlie Lea of the Expos squared off against Dave Stieb of the Blue Jays in a matchup that must have captivated the US.
The '85 starters, twenty years ago, were the Tigers' Jack Morris and the Padres' La Marr Hoyt (the '83 Cy Young winner) in a World Series rematch.
Morris, for his career, would finish third in Cy Young voting twice and in the top ten seven times, but never cracked the top two, despite a thick mustache, an unmatched World Series resume, and towering win totals.

Aside from Dave Stieb, who received little attention for a variety of reasons, nobody in the league was consistently putting up the top-flight run prevention numbers you expect from an elite starter.
Partly as a result of that, three AL Cy Young awards in a four-year period went to starters who had gaudy W/L records but so-so ERAs: Steve Stone in 1980 (25-7, 3.23), Pete Vuckovich in 1982 (18-6, 3.34), and La Marr Hoyt in 1983 (24-10, 3.66).
None of them had ever or would ever again receive a significant number of votes for the award.

The Giants falied on two of those three counts, and since lefties tattooed Kline last season, you could argue that his being a lefty is worthless, which amounts to Sabean being awarded the golden sombrero (as in 0 for 3, boys and girls).
As for picking up some starting pitching, it's important to remember how thin the choices really are, unless you go the blockbuster route, a la Boston.
I'd point out that only 8 pitchers (in the entire major leagues) reached the 200-plus strikeout mark this past season, with Johan Santana's 238 leading the pack.
