I know the Orioles would consider him a bust. Schilling, Harnisch and Finley for him is one of the worst trades of all-time.
Looking back, yeah, you're right. For some reason, I thought he started about seven years before he did. I started following baseball for real around 1987-88, and I thought he had been around for a while at that point. Nope.
