Scouting Report

Assets	A versatile and durable pitcher, he throws a knuckleball that has extended his career. Can start or pitch in several different relief roles. Is always willing to log a ton of innings, which helps a pitching staff tremendously.
Flaws	Like most knuckleballers, he can lack control of the pitch at times. Serves up too many home runs, so using him in crucial situations is always a very risky proposition.
Career potential	Innings-eating knuckleballer.
