"They are not Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar and Pat Dobson, who were 20-game winners for the Baltimore Orioles in 1971, but they are an interesting quartet of pitchers in their own right. Kirk Dressendorfer, Joe Slusarski, Dana Allison and Steve Chitren are rookie members of an American League pitching staff. Their team is not rebuilding but has played in the World Series the last three years. These Oakland Athletic pitchers, though, are not routine rookies. Collectively, they have only seven seasons of professional experience and, entering this season, had pitched only 20 games above the Class AA level of the minor leagues." - Columnist Murray Chass in The New York Times (04/14/1991, Notebook; A's Have the Greenest Arms in the American League', Source)
