Scouting Report:
Very big, hard throwing righty reliever. His repertoire includes a mid
90s cut fastball (sits around 93 mph), a two-seamer, a low 80s slider, and
an average curve. The slider and curve have similar breaks, so some
scouts basically just consider that he has a slurve. Struggles with
control, sometimes badly. Missed some of 2006
with a jammed shoulder. Missed 2004 due to TJ Surgery.
