I said "other". I don't think he'll win 250. I don't think he'll start multiple all-star games and might not win a Cy Young. I do think, however, that he'll be more than a solid #3 guy with a nice career. I'm sure there are lots of solid #1 or #2 pitchers who don't win 250 games or the Cy Young. Perhaps AJ Burnett is a reasonable comparable (sans surgery, hopefully).
Multiple AS games/A Cy young. I think the guy has the potential to be that good.
You don't have to be a great pitcher to win 250 games, you have to be special, which means you have to have some combination of talent/be on winning teams/health.
