He's a decent pitcher...his splits aren't spectacular, but in Seattle I can see him at around ~1.3 and under >3.75 ERA. I'm not sure I would have paid that much for him though.

I've never got a straight answer on this, but I've noticed that players with lower temper ratings tend to take a stats hit.

I'd also talk to him about shaving that ugly stache and beard. Actually, he's in Seattle...for success he ought to consider a full-Buhner (goat beard).

Still dealing with that small sample size.  He's made five appearances, in which he pitched 7.2 IP and gave up 18 runs, an ERA over 22.00.

The rest of the season, he's pitched 27.2 IP with an ERA of 1.62.
