A two time All Star, Bob Knepper would have four seasons with Houston where he had 14 or more Wins. Knepper would have a losing record as an Astro (93-100), but still with only 7 shy of the 100 mark in Wins and 54 shy of 1,000 Strikeouts, these are two solid milestones he almost made.
Now with all due respect to Knepper, how was he ever compared to Sandy Koufax? Seriously, early in his career that happened.
