The Wayne Stratton story has been full of successes culminating in the season 5 AL Cy Young Award. Acquired in a blockbuster deal back in season 3 by the Greener Pastuers, Stratton has proved to be the ace Charlotte needed. He has led them to a wildcard berth in each of the past three seasons, posting win totals of 15, 22 and 18 while keeping healthy, starting at least 34 games each of those years. With two dominate pitches and excellent contol, Stratton has been among the league leaders in strikeouts each season, whiffing 262 batters in season 5, good for 5th alltime and 2 Ks behind last season's totals. At 31 years old, Stratton has shown no signs of decline. "Stratton has easily been one of the best pitchers in the AL the last three seasons. What's so great about him is he can pitch so many innings and when you are scared of your middle relievers that makes him that more valuable." stated Charlotte GM JimmyOF who hopes his performance will lead the franchise to great heights in season 6.
