|summary=pitched for the Expos, Braves, Phillies and Tigers. Just after Palmer's best season, when he went 11-10 with a 3.65 ERA, "The Scouting Report: 1987" observed that his "best pitch is a fastball which he cuts, making it act like a slider.  The pitch looks like it would be hard on a pitcher's arm, perhaps explaining Palmer's history of injury problems."  However, Palmer has expressed  in conversation his conviction that a traditional slider creates too much strain on a pitcher's elbow, and as an assistant coach at Parkview High School he has taught his charges curveballs rather than sliders.  Palmer has worked as a land title examiner in the Atlanta area.                                                                                               SOURCES
