Scouting Report

Assets
  • A true craftsman and finesse pitcher, he still goes after hitters. Is tenacious. His circle-change has been one of the best in baseball.
Flaws
  • With advancing age, he can't get away with sneaking a fastball by hitters very often. Now gives up the occasional big inning.
Career Potential
  • A mid-rotation starter and probable Hall-of-Famer.
