In my first year as a full-time starter on an American League team back in 1979, my new manager that came over from a "dynasty team" in the National League thought that many of us starters would be great. However, many of my fellow pitchers did not do so great. That year, I would go 17-7 with a 3.28 ERA and 113 strikeouts. Who am I?

I didn't think I was right because of the 113 k's seems low for him.

I was the 1st baseball player to be awarded at least one million dollars annually by an arbitrator.

Who am I?

Nope not Tim Raines,

here's a clue he pitched in the NL then and he won the arbitration case in 1983.
