Comments on: Pitchers with at least 100 wins and 100 saves http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/385 This and that about baseball stats.

Of course you can specify the role as a starter when searching for wins, but then you won;t be able to learn anything about saves, since nobody earns saves when the role is as a starter. Certainly the data is there--and it would be easy to go back and check everyone on that list to see if they got at least 100 wins as a starter. It cannot be done currently in a single search.

That is, although each of the guys on this list have both 100 wins and 100 saves (and have been both starters and relievers in their careers), there's nothing that shows that their 100 wins happened AS STARTERS. Tom Gordon, for example, won his 97th game (and last as a starter) in 1997 -- his other 36 wins since then have all been as a reliever. It's tricky, since ONLY relievers can qualify for a save, but both starters AND relievers can qualify for wins... Is there a way to see something like: "100 wins as SP + 100 saves"?

And I like that they are in chronological order. Firpo Marberry was the only one for 20 years! Interestingly, three times in his career Firpo had 10+ GS and 10+ SVs in a season. Those were different times. I was really surprised not to see Rags on your list. Dave Righetti, the first player in history to both pitch a no-hitter and also lead the league in saves in a different season, only had 82 wins. Cool list.
