I like this. Two years ago I thinhk it was, he was absolutely dominant. I think he won something like 14 games that season. If he can pitch at all like he could before, and keep the homeruns down (if I recall, that was his main problem), he could very well be our 5th starter towards the end of the season. I was just wondering what happened to him.

I don't know how much he will help. His ERA is very, very high. He had a 17 win season in 1999, but his ERA was over 5...he was helped by Colorado's offense. It's a win-win situation though - as he is getting paid very little to help the organization, or very little to not do anything to the organization. Not a bad pickup.
