If he gets passed his current ailments I think he might have serious longevity. A big "if" I admit.
Don't forget, he was a shortstop for most of his life. His arm should -- should -- have a lot less wear and tear on it than a kid who has been pitching his arm off since he was 10. Assuming what happened last year is an anomaly, I wouldn't be so fast to predict his ultimate wins/losses.
Also mind blowing to hear the stats about in his last twenty starts his era was 1.78 (or whatever it was) and he had 3 wins or something absurd. So all those starts where he gave up 1 or 2 runs and didn't get a decision aren't important?
