Hershiser was fine - 91 ERA+ in 202 innings. He was below average but hardly a weak spot on the team (really, the weak spot was that Hershiser, Mark Gardner, and Kirk Reuter were the three best starters on the team).I expect that signing to work out as well as Steve Carlton, Orel Hershiser, and Randy Johnson did for the Giants.
Johnson was pretty meh, but whatever. Carlton was legitimately bad.
Basically, this is a risk-free move that maybe works out, or maybe we release Verlander in May. Either way, whatever, we got another starter (remember, if you have eight starters, you have four starters).
