Big issue was arm trouble throughout his career. Ended up making it to the Show as a bullpen coach for the Cardinals.
And always liked reading Jayson Stark's column in the now defunct Philadelphia Inquirer. Awesome beat writer for the Phillies!

re: Blaise - very cool! I'm hoping this changes his career arc a bit. And Stark is my all-time favorite baseball writer.
