Scouting Report
Was effective both as a starter and reliever in MLB, though he made a bigger impact pitching out of the bullpen. Threw strikes with a fair amount of regularity. Was comfortable pitching in tight spots at the big-league level. However, he was a bit too hittable when used as a starting pitcher, which is why he seemed more comfortable as a reliever. Had some trouble keeping his home-run totals against down. Injuries were also an issue for him.
Long Range Potential: Solid right-hander (when healthy).
