I can't remember much about him now from when he was in the system except that he had a plus fastball. I think I read somewhere he asked to go into the bullpen earlier in the summer.

He'd been in trouble with the law a couple of times I believe, and was considered a bit of a headcase. Combined with his lack of control the year we traded him, I don't think it was a great loss. If he turns his life around (matures?) and can find the plate more often, good for him.
