Bump
Didn’t realize this thread hasn’t been updated in a while.
So, in my OP I said I like his stuff. I do. His horizontal and vertical FB movement show above average for his two seam FB which coincides with what I see.

However, I question his baseball IQ at this point. He not struggles after a good start to get late into games, but recently has struggled at the start of games.
His stuff can’t overcome his inability to generate any consistency.
Bullpen? Maybe, but I’m not sure he’s any better in any role there. Getting close to cutting bait if it’s not already past time for it.
