Ummm the first one that jumps out is over his last four seasons Oliver has been worth 5.4 WAR. As a freaking relief pticher!! More then impressive
The guy has been great against lefties and his numbers against righties make him much more then a specialist. Actually had a .594 OPS vs RH in 2011, better vs LH. 2.40 ERA in 112 1/3 innings for Texas the last two years, holding lefty batters to a .212/.250/.306 batting line during that time.
The four best years of 41 yr old Darren Oliver's career are (from best to fourth best): 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008.
