Scouting Report
Got by on deception and guile, since hitters never knew what was coming. Had a wide variety of pitches and different arm angles. Was great in big games. Could get hurt when he threw the ball up in the strike zone, since his fastball rarely touched 90 m.p.h. Injuries were a constant concern throughout his career.
Long Range Potential: Savvy, clutch right-hander, when healthy.
