Bob James was drafted by the Montreal Expos in the first round in 1976.  In 1978, he made his major league debut at the age of 20.  He pitched 8 seasons as a relief pitcher for the Montreal Expos, Detroit Tigers, and Chicago White Sox 1978-1979, and 1982-1987.

I can find no information about Bob James after he was released by the Chicago White Sox in 1987.  He is 51 years old now and might still be living in his hometown just outside of Los Angeles, California.
