Scouting Report

Assets	Brings a varied arsenal to the hill, highlighted by a fastball/splitter combination. All of his pitches have excellent movement. Was a starter but has adapted well to a role out of the 'pen.
Flaws	The great movement on his pitches can also be his downfall, since he too often loses command of the strike zone altogether. Injuries are an issue here. Is on the decline.
Career potential	Savvy veteran right-hander, when healthy.
