A solid SP3 who'll give you a lot of innings.  His splits are nice and control is okay.  If his pitches were better, he'd be an SP2.  I'd expect him to do relatively well with a slightly sub-4.00 ERA throughout the season, though I'd worry that All-Stars on playoff teams would tag him hard.

I cant see his projections but hes young and he looks good already. That said I would have left him down for another year in the minors but he should be a solid contributor for many years to come.

But you can see he has 4 pro ML years and probably wont develop much past this point.

I would agree with the guy above, his pitches stink, which will ultimately keep him as middle of the pack guy.

He improved 7 points last year in each of his splits, which leads me to believe that he can get his splits into the mid 80s over the next couple years.  It looks like his control can get there too.  I think he can be consistently in the 3s with his ERA, despite his pitches.

Yeah, I don't get why owners not only want to keep a player down for a full season to wait on him to gain like 2 points, but then advise others to do the same.

i have come to realize, if you think you have a chance and a guy in the minors can help, bring him up.... im not worried about 4 years from now when i might not have a chance..
