I'm a little intrigued by this guy lately. It seems that checking the minor league updates every night that he has been putting up a lot of zeros lately. He seems better since he was put back in the bullpen. Here is what I know:
He's age 25, 6 feet and 7 inches tall, weighs 215 pounds and throws righthanded Signed as a non-drafted free agent in June of 2003 His 2007 FIP is 3.65 much better than the 4.77 ERA he shows His 2007 stats are marred by a couple short outings against Jacksonville in mid-June He seems capable of going multiple innings or for short stints He was once suspended 50 games for "substances of abuse" His components show a 10.36 K/9 (big jump from 2006 when it was in the 7 range), 4.99 BB/9 (but below 3 in A+ and AA last year), and .55 HR/9 (consistent with 2006).That's about it. Can anybody fill in any details? Should this guy be in the conversation about potential bullpen help down the road? What does he throw from a types of pitches and stuff perspective? Any detail on the suspension and has he licked his problems? Any info appreciated.
