Scouting Report
Would always battle when on the mound, even when he didn't have his best stuff. Was versatile enough to start or relieve as necessary, which added overall value. Was far too hittable in Major League Baseball and also lacked the ability to strike batters out with consistency (especially at the highest level).
Long Range Potential: Mediocre right-hander with guile.
