| His career was going at a Hall of Fame pace before his shoulder injury. Finished in the top 2 in the NL Cy Young voting 3 straight seasons and had a career ERA+ of 142, which is the 12th best in baseball history. It's a shame he could never return from his shoulder problems. This post was edited on 2/4 at 8:16 pm Reply • Back to Top |

| Good for him. Hopefully he has enough money to enjoy retirement at age 33. Reply • Back to Top |
| He made $35.5 million over his career. He did ok. Could've made A LOT more though Reply • Back to Top |
I hate that for him. He was great when he was healthy. UK player makes him a plus!  Reply • Back to Top |
| Dbacks refused to sign him to a big contract...props to them on knowing what was up. Reply • Back to Top |
| Apparently he threw for over a dozen teams a week ago and nobody called him back. From what I understand, it was fairly obvious that it was over. It's a shame. Reply • Back to Top |
| damn. forgot about him. Speedy, how you were not nominated for the Cosell droppie is beyond me Reply • Back to Top |
A Diamondback great for sure  Loved watching him pitch. Reply • Back to Top |
| I love watching groundball pitchers, and he and Kevin Brown had the best sinkers that I've seen. Reply • Back to Top |
