Scouting Report
Assets
Has good stuff, including a moving cutter and curveball. He throws in a change-up and is equally adept at retiring hitters from both sides of the plate.
Flaws
When he's off his game, he gets hit hard early and often--and is also prone to the long ball. Fights bouts of wildness, as well.
Career potential
A decent setup man.
