So he started playing every day and, since then, he's been doing very well.
He has the tendency to get a little wild at times but, with 19 innings and just 15 hits, 13 strikeouts -- that's pretty good.
He was a California League All-Star for us last year. He's about 5-foot-7 or 5-8, a left-hander who is just a great athlete and a great competitor. He can change speed on all of his pitches and throws to spots. Nothing is overpowering -- he just pitches.
I think he'll fit in well because of the similarities between their program and our program.
We wanted to bring in some older guys with Major League experience. He had some other good coaching offers but decided to come over here.
We've signed some key free agents that are really going to help out at Double and Triple-A, especially Double-A.
He's a big kid, a workhorse who can give you a lot of innings. He's very resilient and his arm bounces back really well. He's shown glimpses of being a pretty good pitcher.
He should be close to start the season.
