I was browsing around and I stumbled across this guy, a SP for Toronto. He's made four MLB starts, and all were pretty impressive:

	   	G 	GS 	W 	L 	SV 	CG 	SHO 	IP 	H 	R 	ER 	HR 	BB 	K 	ERA 	WHIP 	BAA 	 
vs.BAL 	1 	1 	0 	1 	0 	0 	0 	7.0 	4 	1 	1 	0 	0 	4 	1.29 	0.57 	.160 	 
vs.NYY 	1 	1 	1 	0 	0 	0 	0 	7.0 	4 	3 	3 	0 	3 	2 	3.86 	1.00 	.174 	 
vs.OAK         1 	1 	1 	0 	0 	0 	0 	6.0 	8 	2 	2 	1 	1 	4 	3.00 	1.50 	.320 	 
vs.TB 	  	1 	1 	1 	0 	0 	0 	0 	5.0 	3 	1 	1 	1 	1 	3 	1.80 	0.80 	.167 	

 

Does anyone know anything about this 24 year old?

SOUNDS good but obviously needs a little more experience.

Nothing more than a #4. His stuff is sub-standard. His starts only appear to be good. He doesn't walk many, but he doesn't strike out many either. He's pretty much Abe Alvarez.

[CrespoBlows]

Except he throws a bit harder then Alvarez

[Sizzlin22]

He's in the AL with a too low of a K ratio if you pitch in the AL and don't strike out enough batters you're gonna get burned... thats why I think Pavano may struggle a bit this season.

[Zenny]

Not much. He tops out at 90. Alvarez can bump it to 88 or so.

Just an update...today's stats:

8.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 0 HR

He's done wonders for my fantasy baseball team, I'll tell ya that...

[DOrtiz4prez]

Think it's worth it to pick him up on fantasy?

[schillingouttheks]

Who knows if he can keep it up, but so far he's done pretty good. He has helped me win some key categories.

[CalvnHobs6]

He is human, after all.

6 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 5 K, 2 BB.

[YANKEESRULE]

He pitched well against us tonight. I mean i was biting my nails that whole game after the fourth innning. Hell of a baseball game. I think that's the kind of game tha Yankees needed to win to get back into the swing of things. But, he's a hell of a pitcher, weird looking but a good pitcher.

Yankees tend to make pitchers that way.

[schillingouttheks]

They haven't done that too much lately...
