    Lost Pirate: Larry McWilliams

    This week's Lost Pirate comes straight to us from the 80's. A lanky left-hander with a funky delivery, Larry McWilliams was acquired via trade in exchange for his photo negative image, Pascual Perez.

    A former first round pick with the Braves, McWilliams struggled to find himself until he joined the Pirates. McWilliams 1983 season still stands as one of the finest seasons a lefty has ever had in a Pirate uniform, as he went 15-8 with a 3.25 era and 199 strikeouts.

    McWilliams completely lost it after the 1984 season and rapidly faded into obscurity...but not before becoming one of the bevy of mediocrities the Pirate lavished million dollar contracts on. (See Exhibit B, George Hendrick.)
