Was real surprised he only has 134 wins and hasn’t been in double-figures in wins since 2016.

He will always be remembered for his WS heroics though.

Horrible stint with the Diamondbacks. A total waste of $85 million.

Did he get injured somewhere along the way? Or did he just get old/dead arm. I forget.

Huge drop off last 6-7 years

Arizona has had zero luck in recent years, buying pitchers after they're stuff is gone

It was that motorcycle accident he had with the Giants. He lost his fastball after that but I didn't expect him to completely fall off a cliff. Letting him go when they did was one of the smarter things the Giants have done in years because they knew he was done.

The Giants staff was so loaded back during their WS runs when they had MadBum, the kid from Dazed and Confused and Romo in their prime and several others Cain, Hudson, etc
