After spending his full season with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1999, Roy ‘Doc’ Halladay returned to the team in 2000 and turned in the worst year in his career.
He would throw to a 10.64 ERA with a 4-7 record, pitching in only 67.2 innings giving up 80 earned runs while striking out only 44 batters.
Doc was struggling to get batters out and was giving up hits and walks both as a starter and as a reliever.
To begin the 2001 season, Halladay was demoted to Class A in Dunedin in order to work on his pitching mechanics and his delivery to the plate.
