Scouting Report
: Starter whose fastball sits around 88-90 mph.  Mixes in a curveball, a slider, and a changeup.  Very good command.  Missed most of 2006 season with a left elbow strain, but racked up a year of MLB service time in the process. Could prove to be an effective LOOGY down the line. Tried out as a reliever in late 2008.
