The lack of movement is pretty much a killer in my opinion... Updated Wednesday, December 14 2016 @ 2:12:33 pm PST

He's really an 11 potential when you look at his pitching abilities (33 total, that's abysmal). 17 control doesn't really help much, and high stamina also doesn't count if he can't throw a good pitch. He could be still useful at LL VI to eat some innings, so if you have nobody else, play him. But if you move up, he should be near top of list to cut.

I suspect he is what his stat line suggests. If you average ERA and FIP he is about 5. Fairly high BAA and equal right vs. left. He is a serviceable end of your pitching roster kind of guy but I don't see a lot of upside.
