He has performed at a .500 level for the Mets over the last few years, which isn't bad. However, some good coaching of the Craig variety could make him a top pitcher. He specializes in the slider, and a good game will see him using excellent control to force hitters to swing at low pitches and ground out. He isn't overpowering, and thus cannot survive too long if his control is off and he can't get his pitches down in the strike zone. The addition of a split- finger to his repetoire could be very interesting, and I hope he succeeds in CarLand and does some damage to the Yanks. As for "Hojo," bye bye doghouse, hello platooning!
