Bio: was supposed to be the ace of the future for us, until he took a huge turn in the other direction. Arm injuries didn't help, as his velocity has taken a major hit, and he can barely hit 80 MPH on the gun anymore. There have been talks about dropping his arm angle a little bit, so that he can become a left handed specialist. Even if he starts in the minors, he'll never make any big league club as a starter, so the left specialist idea suits him best.

Projected 2007 Statistics: 0-0, 0.00, 0, 0

Fantasy Outlook: I doubt he gets into a big league game this season, but then again he managed to throw three innings for us last year, and I didn't even remember that. No fantasy value regardless.
