Jason Schmidt was always expected to be great, and his statistics suggest that he was a late bloomer, rather than that he was helped by the ballpark. His strikeout ratio increased radically. Schmidt had season-ending surgery August 17, 2000 to repair partial fraying of his rotator cuff and other shoulder damage. He began the 2001 season on the disabled list with an abdominal strain. His improvement followed recovery from those ailments.

The wild and erratic Shawn Estes had his best year in 3Com.

Russ Ortiz went from 18-9-3.81 in 3Com to 14-12-5.01 in PacBell. His ’02 and ’03 numbers are so consistent that they do not reflect a guy pitching in a different home ballpark.

Kirk Reuter has had good ERAs just about every other year in both ballparks during his 7 full seasons in SF.

Mark Gardner spent his last two seasons in PacBell. His ’00 numbers don’t look too bad because he split time between starting and relieving.

L. Hernandez	TEAM	W	L	ERA	SV	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO
2002	Giants	12	16	4.38	0	216	233	113	105	19	71	134
2003	Expos	15	10	3.20	0	233.1	225	92	83	27	57	178

Livan Hernandez left PacBell and had his best year last year.

F. Rodriguez	TEAM	W	L	ERA	SV	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO
1999	Giants	2	3	3.80	0	66.1	67	32	28	6	29	55
2000	Giants	4	2	2.64	3	81.2	65	29	24	5	42	95
2001	Giants	9	1	1.68	0	80.1	53	16	15	5	27	91
2002	Giants	8	6	4.17	0	69	53	33	32	5	29	58
2003	Giants	8	2	3.10	2	61	59	21	21	5	29	46

None of the relievers show a meaningful pattern. Felix Rodriguez developed into a dominating pitcher, but that had nothing to do with the stadium.
