Scouting Report
Had great stuff, especially early on in his MLB career. Could come after hitters from different arm angles with a mid-90s fastball and superb slider. Had a great move to first base. Found his niche pitching in relief in the bigs. Control and command of the strike zone were always issues with him, so it was hard to trust him in pressure situations. Failed as a starter partly because he had first-inning jitters.
Long Range Potential: Quirky left-hander.
