Dan Petry was a very underrated pitcher for the Detroit Tigers

Righty starting pitcher Dan Petry always played second fiddle to Jack Morris in his time with the Tigers but he was a solid pitcher. He pitched in 306 games (274 starts) in his 11 years with the Tigers and he was 119-93 with a 3.84 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. Despite being a solid pitcher Petry only made the All-Star team one time. That was in 1985 when Petry pitched in 34 games (all starts) in which he was 15-13 with a 3.36 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. Petry finished 9th in 1982 in the Cy Young Award voting and he was #5 in 1984.
