A quick look at the stats of Greg Harris does not make you think that he belongs on this list, at least this high, but that is why statisticians provide much deeper looks than just a Winning Percentage.
Harris debuted for the Padres in 1988, appearing in three Games, before settling into a bullpen role in the next two seasons. Harris threw for over 110 Innings in each of those years, mainly in a set-up capacity, and he posted an ERA well under three.
San Diego moved Harris back to the starting rotation in 1991, and while injuries held him to only 20 Games, he made the most of it, winning nine and posting a 2.23 ERA. Harris slipped in 1992, with his ERA going over four, but he was righting the ship in 1993, winning 10 Games with a 3.67 ERA before he was traded to Colorado.
Harris had a 2.95 ERA with a 41-39 Record and 462 Strikeouts with the Padres.
