The Pirates' last 12-game winner was Oliver Perez in 2004. FWIW, the most recent Pirate seasons with 13 wins or more belong to Jason Schmidt (13 wins, 1999) and Todd Ritchie (15 wins, 1999). The 1999 Gene Lamont team finished with a record of 78-83; fifteen of seventy-eight in 19%. Twelve of fifty-one is 24%. What I'm trying to say is, Snell's 12 wins in 2006 are more impressive than Ritchie's 15 in 1999. Even if it's just luck, it's still impressive.
Congratulations, Ian Snell.
