He's pitched well when healthy, but he's injured a lot. He also was suspended for 50 games in 2007 for a failed drug test. He would have sat out the beginning of '08 to finish up the suspension, but the Rays added him to the 40-man roster in the spring so the minor league suspension was voided. Combining '07 and '08 he pitched almost 200 innings in AA with about a 3.30 ERA. Not bad, but 200 innings in 2 years is a lot of missed time. He's 24, so it's time to step up if he's ever going to. If he makes the majors, on the Rays or elsewhere, it'll probably be as a reliever.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08409653861481579576noreply@blogger.com
