Scouting Report
Had a deep arsenal of pitches and the ability to strike batters out consistently. Was reasonably durable, as he was capable of pitching several days in a row. Surrendered a few too many home runs, which curbed his effectiveness at the big-league level to some degree. Was not ideal as a big-league closer, but he thrived in a setup role.
Long Range Potential: Quality reliever.
