I'll tell ya - if the Reds are looking to free up a roster spot then IMO they can start with this guy. I know that many held out hope when we acquired him from the D'Backs that he could possibly turn into a serviceable #4 or #5 guy in the rotation, but I've seen enough of this guy, even out of the bullpen.
A home ERA of 8.69. He definitely shouldn't see the light of day versus a LH'd hitter. They salivate facing off against the guy.Code:SEASON TEAM G GS CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB SO W L SV HLD BLSV WHIP ERA 2007 Ari 29 27 2 1 152.2 146 81 73 20 50 106 8 8 0 0 -- 1.28 4.30 2008 Ari 22 18 0 0 104.2 104 73 69 14 41 87 6 9 0 1 -- 1.39 5.93 2009 Cin 26 19 0 0 119.2 126 75 71 18 64 68 7 12 1 0 0 1.59 5.34 2010 Cin 22 0 0 0 33.1 28 20 20 3 25 35 3 2 0 0 -- 1.59 5.40 Total -- 99 64 2 1 410.1 404 249 233 55 180 296 24 31 1 1 -- 1.42 5.11
What, if any, options do we have with this guy?
