Scouting Report
When healthy, he was one of baseball's most dominant hurlers. His incredible reach, overpowering heater and devastating slider overmatched most hitters. Durability became an ever-present issue with him over time. Could be stubborn when he didn't have his best stuff, and therefore got hit hard.
Long Range Potential: Dominant left-hander and one of the greatest strikeout artists of all time.
