Scouting Report

Assets	Throws a low-90s fastball with good late movement, and adds a good slider--which helps him get a lot of lefty bats out--and a cutter. Can be used in a variety of roles. Can even spot-start.
Flaws	Has always lacked consistency. Can at times be done in by the big inning, as he loses focus now and then.
Career potential	Veteran lefty reliever.
