Scouting Report
Puts his massive frame behind a fastball that can reach the high 90's, and is equally effective against hitters from both sides of the plate. Never gets rattled at the highest level. Will at times lose his composure, so saves can become a real adventure with him. While he gets out of trouble with aplomb, he makes life harder on himself than it needs to be.
Long Range Potential: Veteran reliever.
