Signed with Oakland (Dec. 2010)

Scouting Report: Nice 88-92 mph fastball with excellent movement.  Can get up to 95 mph when he reaches back.  Also throws a splitter and an 80-82 mph slider.  Not much there in terms of other secondary stuff.  Very aggressive in the zone, leading to a lot of strikeouts, but also a lot of hits allowed. Missed most of 2008 season after undergoing elbow surgery.  Came back to impress in the Puerto Rican Winter League in the 2008-09 off-season.  Still has the potential to be a solid/average major league reliever.
