Hurt himself years ago rounding 3rd in Houston, never been the same since.

Not exactly in on this, what happened to this guy?

 

Freak of nature. Won 19 games 2 years in a row with the Yanks. Struck out 76 in 200 innings... but is almost literally the 1/1000 that can be effective like that.

 

Extreme ground-baller. Struggled with injuries for 5 years. Number in aaa look good, strike out rate is horrible. But he is literally the 1/1000 who can be effective with that k-rate.

 

I like the move. Better to sort through these type of guys (early 30s record of success) then the Ramon Ortiz's of the world.

CMW...I actually like this one. Isn't striking anyone out (10.5% that's 3.88/9) but he's not walking anyone either. Hopefully we provide some D behind him...we have to for him toh have any success.

asians should fill up 3 spots on 40-man roster, since one of them worth for 3 normal people, blacks should fill up 5
