Short lived starter for
the Twins…Played exclusively in the minor 1971 going 16-10 for PCL Portland…Lead
circuit in wins…Previously the majority of his MLB experience was during 1969
Woodson’s rookie year…Went 7-5 mostly as a reliever…Ineffectively relieved
starter Bob Miller in the 3rd game of the first ever ALCS series
coming in the second inning…Inexplicably 3rd starter Jim Kaat was sidestepped
from playing... role diminished in 1970 splitting 21 appearances for the Twins and
AAA demotion….still managed to appear in ALCS with similar poor results to the
prior year in wildly lopsided loss…1972 brought found in a steady spot in the
Twins rotation…Responded with 14 wins a career best…Was high in walks in a hits
per 9 innings…Fell to 10-8 record in 1973 with an increase of ERA…Continued downward spiral with poor start in 1974…was
traded to Yankees mid season where his fortunes did not change…Played briefly
in minors 1975.
