Scouting Report
Was a true workhorse with an ideal pitchers' frame. Threw a great sinking fastball in the mid-90's. Was very durable over the years, plus he was smart and a true professional on the mound. Did not always do a good job of getting ahead in the count, which at times led to a relatively high walks total. Sometimes, he surrendered too many long balls. Injuries were a big issue, too.
Long Range Potential: Quality right-hander, when healthy.
