Totally agree. Worked his tail off to go from a failed SS prospect to being a very serviceable relief pitcher. Likable guy. Great character. Hope he has success.
While drafted as a SS, I thought Orioles system felt he was best suited as a pitcher. Which isnt that unusual, as most pitchers played SS when they wasnt pitching.
I like Givens always have. But, he was too inconsistent for me. Brilliant stuff at times, and then come unhinged at a bad call or bad play behind him.
