Scouting Report
With a unique sidearm delivery, he could blow away batters with relative ease when on his game--especially right-handed hitters. Was versatile enough to start or relieve and was experienced in tight spots. Control was a major concern for him over the years in Major League Baseball, resulting in a needless amount of earned runs allowed. Also failed as a big-league closer (he did not handle the pressure well).
Long Range Potential: Talented, quirky and versatile right-hander.
