He battled some injuries in 1985 and 1986 but rebounded for a good season in 1988. His final season as an every day player was 1989.
In 1990, he only played in 37 games. After the 1990 season, he was granted free agency. He signed with the Mets, but was released in Spring Training. He signed with the Kansas City Royals. He was released on June 9, 1991, ending his Major League career.
He has also coached the Canadian National team as well as for the University of Houston-Victoria.
