Scouting Report
Has plenty of mound presence. Throws many strikes and does so early in counts. His demeanor is ideal for the closer role: competitive, cool and fiery. Years of heavy appearance totals has led to injury and overall decline. Left-handed batters make him somewhat more vulnerable on the mound in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Veteran late-inning reliever in decline, when healthy.
