After all, heads of lettuce are heard to get a grip on one handed. PC should be more precise. To wit: James Robert Johnson
Pitcher
Bats: Right, Throws: Right
Height: 6′ 5″, Weight: 230 lb can out pitch Kevin Gregg (stats irrelevant) any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

That’s one very large, very expensive and very awful setup man.

Sorry for being melodramatic but I still have horrible memories of him lumbering in from the boolpen at Joeprodolsharklife Stadium carrying his signature yellow five gallon gasoline can. Ugh.

I do wonder how many save opportunities there will be for the Orioles next season. Their young starters took a step backwards last season.
