You've got a big kid w/ the likelihood of having a good 3 pitch mix, plus command and groundball tendencies that should allow for pitch efficiency. You really want to spend some time on ruling out a starters role before you put him in the 'pen, IMO.

It's mainly that every report I've read on him is his 3rd pitch is not good.
