What the heck happened to Ubaldo Jimenez?

Dude was once at the top of his game. The way he threw the ball was once described as "almost unfair" by Mike Krukow.

He pitched well as a starter the 2nd half of the season. Kingofalldems Oct 2016 #1

As a reliever he is awful--had a 10 ERA earlier this year.

Beat those Mets, please.

and mounting comeback. I think the book is still out on him.

Zito, if I recall correctly, messed around with his delivery and could never quite get it back to the way he was with Okalnad. He was productive towards the end of his contract and was a big part of the 2012 World Series championship.
