I know this is an unending drumbeat, but besides Prior and Wood, what other pitchers is Dusty Baker alleged to have destroyed?
I've seen some folks post information showing that some of Baker's pitchers were in the Top 10 of Pitcher Abuse Points (PAP), but not many; with the most glaring being Wood & Prior in 2003.

Some pitchers are more capable of being workhorses than others. And I think you might see a pattern of pitchers under Baker being on one year and off the next and yes that might be from overusing. WOY noted he relies heavily on his relievers and with the Reds, that might not be such a good thing unless there is a marked improvement.
This hysteria makes me think of the movie The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!
