Scouting Report
His big frame and slow delivery created deception. Boasted a good sinking fastball and big, sweeping curve. Could be especially tough on right-handed batters. Was effective as both a starter and reliever. Had control issues and he also had a tendency to wear down later in the game, due to stamina and conditioning issues. Never really found a greater level of consistency. His decline was rather sudden.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but talented and versatile right-hander.
