don't let the ball hit us on your way out

Following up on yesterday's post regarding batters who have accumulated the most plunks after leaving each team, it's only fair to look at the pitchers as well.
Former Rangers' pitchers who were active in 2005 have hit more batters since leaving that team, then the former players of any other team, with 572 (through '05). They are led by Jamie Moyer who has hit 89 batters since leaving Texas. Moyer also ranks first in plunks among former Cubs, Cardinals and Red Sox with 95, 88, and 76 hit batters since leaving those 3 clubs.
Randy Johnson leads form Astros in hit batters, having plunked 76 since leaving Houston. Johnson also leads former Expos and former Mariners in plunks since leaving those teams, plunking 168 since his days as an Expo, and 79 since leaving the Mariners. (If he moved around any more he's be called the big Rental unit.) Kenny Rogers is the only other pitcher to lead 3 former teams in plunks since leaving. He's hit 53 since leaving the Mets, 57 since leaving the A's, and 73 since leaving the Yankees.
Interestingly, Johnson only plunked 2 Astros batters after leaving Houston, 2 Expos and 1 Mariner.

None of the above named pitchers has hit Craig Biggio with a pitch, but Pedro Martienz, Al Leiter, Kevin Brown, Matt Clement, David Wells, Jeff Suppan, Ron Villone, Jason Schmidt, and Miguel Batista all have, and each leads the former players of at least 1 team in hit batters.

Total stats through '05 of pitchers active in '05, since last pitching for each team:
