Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has incredible size (6-10, 280 pounds) and the ability to put up quality innings, when healthy. Partly due to his size, he can intimidate with his fastball. Also adds a solid curveball and decent change-up to the mix.
Flaws
  • Base-runners usually run wild against him. The command of his curve and change-up aren't always where he needs it to be. As a result, walks are an issue for him. Injuries and a lack of stamina are also a concern.
Career Potential
  • Savvy veteran starter, when healthy.
  • AwardsNamed to the All-Star GameNamed to the All-Star Game
