FAVORITE BRAVES PLAYERS OF THE 1970'S
#93 JAMIE EASTERLY
ATLANTA BRAVES 1974-1979
If you asked me who typifies bad Braves pitchers of the 70's, I would say Jamie Easterly right off the bat. During parts of six season with the Braves, his cumulative Atlanta record was 8-20 and had a 5.72 ERA during that span. He had a reputation as being a good hitting pitcher, but wasn't much of a good pitching pitcher during his time with the Braves.
The funny thing is, once Jamie went to the American League, he had several fairly good seasons as a middle reliever with the Brewers and Indians during the 80's.
The Braves in those days were known for trading away players who had great careers for their new teams...
