3. Jamey Wright- 101

Losses:
1. Livan Hernandez- 124
2. Javier Vazquez- 116
3. Jeff Suppan- 110

ERA:

2. Gary Glover & Tanyon Strutze- 5.04

WHIP:
1. Randy Flores- 1.594
2. Dennys Reyes & Scott Sauerbeck- 1.556

Notes: Teams really do value innings-eaters, because that's the only explanation for Livan Hernandez's continued employment. The Devil Rays really used to suck, as they are heavily represented in the worst ERA's category.
