Scouting Report
Had a big frame and displayed a powerful arm. Could be a quality late-inning reliever in the minors and also offered a bit more versatility at the big-league level. Struggled with his control in Major League Baseball and had a penchant for surrendering too many bases on balls at the highest level. That often led to big innings against him.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent reliever.
