Scouting Report
Has starting experience in the minors, so he can be used for longer stints out of the 'pen if required, but is most effective as a situational lefty or even late-inning reliever. Can give up too many walks from time to time. Also, he has a tendency to leave a few pitches up in the zone, which leads to too many home runs against him.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, veteran left-hander.
