Scouting Report
Brought an imposing frame and demeanor to the mound, and wasn't afraid to dust off batters. Boasted an effective slider, which he utilized effectively as his primary out pitch. Also threw a circle-change for strikes. Was prone to wildness, and when his fastball straightened out he could get hammered. Had some issues during his career with performance-enhancing drugs. Despite a lengthy career in MLB he rarely served as a closer.
Long Range Potential: Decent middle reliever.
