A forgotten man LH starter who is more crafty than overpowering. I think WK targeted this guy as the PTBNL in the Deno deal. He was 8-2 last year with a 3.55 ERA in 14 starts at Sarasota after he was acquired. in 76 IP, he held opposition to 6.99 H/9, 3.2 BB/9 and a miniscule .24 HR/9. All the while he was putting up a respectable 8.41 K/9. Those are all good numbers.

This year in AA, in 27.2 IP, he has a 2.60 ERA, with 18K and 13 BB. He's allowed only 1 HR. His GB % dropped from the awesome 65% last year at Sarasota to a more normal 47% this year. The drop in GB rate and the K/BB ratio are a little concerning, but he's doing ok so far.

How are your sleepers doing?
Please remember that two of the BB yesterday were intentional.
