Scouting Report:
One of the best pure sinkerballers in the majors over the last decade.
However, since 2009 he has battled injury problems and ineffectiveness,
including a broken right index finger in spring training in 2011 that kept
him from pitching until June. His nasty sinker keeps the ball on the
ground consistently. Has always had below-average swing-and-miss rates.
His strikeout rates are also typically well below-average.
