Scouting Report
Has a deceptive delivery that makes his 90-m.p.h. fastball look good. Backs it up with a strong change-up and solid curve. Over the years, he has found his niche as a reliever. Command issues earlier in his career forced him to switch from starter to reliever, and they will still pop up from time to time. For MLB, he lacks a truly dominant pitch.
Long Range Potential: Veteran left-hander.
