He's also not really a true LOOGY, as he's a pretty similar pitcher vs. both sides of the plate.

He's not a great pitcher, but he should be pretty decent, which is better than most of the guys trotted out last season. He's an improvement. This signing will come down to the $$$$ for me.
Expect the money to not be too low...WK has shown a great ability to outbid all, even himself, when it comes to Stanton like players.
