	Roger Craig \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Sports Illustrated called Roger Craig "the acknowledged maestro of the split-fingered fastball." In 1985 he taught the split-finger to the Astros' Mike Scott, who won the 1986 Cy Young award.
		Craig had previously managed the 1978-79 Padres and served as a scout and pitching coach, notably in Detroit, where he taught Jack Morris the split-finger.
		Craig will be on the wrong end of a shutout nine times this year: only Bugs Raymond (11 in 1908) and Walter Johnson (10 in 1909) have had more shutouts thrown at them in a year.

	ESPN.com - Brenly still has plenty of Roger Craig in him
		It is when Craig, taking over the dead embers of a 100-loss team in San Francisco, met Bob Brenly, a workaday but hardly spectacular 30-year-old catcher, a year after his best season and in no particular way a man on baseball's fast track.
		Craig and general manager Al Rosen, both of whom had been hired by former San Francisco owner Bob Lurie, hinted at eventual retirement when Lurie tried for the fourth unsuccessful time to get a city government to build him a new stadium.
		Brenly, who was believed to be Craig's successor no later than 1995, stayed for three years as bullpen coach under Dusty Baker, but eventually moved on, first to Fox and the Diamondbacks radio network, and then to the big leather chair when the Buck Showalter Era ended in flames.

	Rogers Story
		Roger, Craig, Gary and Myself all went to see the cancer doctor to hopefully get some insight as to what we were looking at as far as what type of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) Cancer Roger had and most of all to get a game plan on how to treat it.
		Roger will be the first person to undergo a new clinical trial to treat Burketts which requires 1 week in the hospital for chemo every 3 weeks then a month stay in the hospital for a stem cell transplant.
		Roger is doing good, the stints they put in his heart seem to be helping and all test have showed up good with the cancer in remission, I don't think I will ever say he is cancer free because once you do then it could be right around the corner.

		Ever since then, his baseball playing has, well, sucked, and his total salaries since then have totalled $38 million, not chump change, to be sure, but his arrogance cost him $100 million.
