Oh yeah.

I’ve always liked the guy and I’m jazzed to finally see him in our bullpen, but it’s been long enough since I last saw him that I guess I just forgot that the dude has arms and legs going all over the place.

Though apparently Chris Snyder and Felipe Lopez both love and hate 4-seam fastballs. So take their scouting reports with a grain of salt.
