2007/Career Statistics & Game Log

Bio: began his career as a catcher, but realized that because of his weight and build, that he'd survive a much longer baseball career if he switched to become a pitcher. I like this kid a lot, and before Papelbon switched back to closer, I thought he was going to be the closer of the future. I still think by 2009 he could be one of our biggest (no pun intended) setup men. And by biggest I also mean most important. Time will tell.

Projected 2007 Statistics: 0-0, 1.50, 8, 10

Fantasy Outlook: almost no fantasy value; he'll get into a handful of games or so I think this season in September, but won't help your fantasy team in the long run.
