I guess he does have good stuff maybe there’s a little more in the tank there than I thought, without going and checking the Fangraphs page again.

Yeah, only idiotic teams want that kind of player.

Overall, he has been pretty successful in limited innings in the majors. He is young, and as a lefty who throws in the low to mid 90′s, he has plenty of potential and will get lots of chances.

His strikeouts went down, his walks went up, and his ERA was still probably lower than it should’ve been cause of a fluky home run rate. He’s a lefty specialist with not so good control at best.

That is why he is no longer on the Twins, its too bad because he has good stuff.

He’s been a solid reliever and well worth the 750K. I think last year is a fluke for him.

You are going to be so sorry for being so foolish as to sign this guy to an almost million dollar contract! Who makes these calls?
