Which honestly, seeing what he's done since... they were probably right. He was good that one half season for the White Sox after we traded him... and didn't really do much until last year. And last year he did effectively rack up saves... but his K/BB ratio and all that stuff wasn't nearly what it was when he was mowing people down in KC. Never had a problem with stuff though. In 2003 when the Royals were winning he was electric. I remember when the Giants came to town and he closed out one of the games and made Barry Bonds look absolutely foolish at the plate.
