Scouting Report
When on his game, he was one of the top sinkerball specialists in the bigs. Also used exceptional pitching savvy to get the job done. Wasn't capable of striking out a lot of batters, so he used to rely too much on his defense most outings. Injuries were also a concern.
Long Range Potential: Savvy sinkerball specialist.
