Can’t strike anyone out and is allowing a 43% Hard Hit rate.

He could maybe be a useful bullpen guy.
Or a 5th starter for a bad team in a pitchers park.

But he will need to sign for dirt cheap.

If I was a team I would put him in the pen and make him throw more sliders.

Similar thing as a starter..but he would be like a 5 inning guy. Sort of like Maeda on the Dodgers....but with less upside.

I remember back when he came back from Tommy John and Boras and Harvey floated the idea of an innings cap for him that season and the fans went livid. Instead of doing the smart thing and listening to his agent, he went back on the innings cap to pander to the fans
I think he broke the record for IP after Tommy John including his playoff innings (216 UP total). And of course he ruined his arm and has never been the same since. Harvey was looking like a legend before he fukked his arm the second time.
I do think it's bs he couldn't swallow his pride and go to the minors. Plenty of players who had/have been great have done it

He let success get to his head. NYC will have all the way fukked up. Son lost out on a fat contract.

It was all good when the dark knight had Harvey day and was sitting courtside at Garden and fukking models. Now he bout to be put on his ass. Life comes at you fast I tell ya.

The flip side is Strasburg. He got paid and is still out here dealing but holding him out of the postseason might have cost the Nats a ring that year. You can’t duck those moments in NY
