Scouting Report

Assets
  • A battler with a good sense of deception. Always competitive on the mound, he's a very good athlete who is a great hitter and fielder for a pitcher.
Flaws
  • Injuries have really taken their toll. With increasing age, he has lost a lot of zip off his fastball. Has always given up too many walks.
Career Potential
  • A serviceable mid-rotation starter, when healthy.
