Scouting Report

Assets
  • Doesn't get rattled with runners aboard, nor in tight spots. When he's on, he has great command. Can start or relieve.
Flaws
  • Left-handed hitters can have a field day with him. His stamina has always been questioned and he's woefully inconsistent.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or reliever.
