Anybody interested? Not sure that his success over seas will translate back but I'm still interested in seeking out some lesser signings with some potential upside for this team. I'd prefer to continue a bit with the rebuild as opposed to forking out big dollars for the likes of say a Jake Arrieta or trading prospects.

 

Count me in at the suggested 2/10 mil price tag.

Success isn't a direct transfer, as their hitters aren't at the same level as MLB. However the velocity is decent and his control has greatly improved. Those things will transfer, unless the only reason his control has improved is that he isn't worried about the hitters there but will be on this side of the pacific. If he is and nibbles too much the walks and runs will jump beyond what could be expected by facing improved competition.

 

Still worth looking at for that price.

Didn't someone else post about him a while back - Briggs?

 

I'd take a flyer. I think his floor would be a decent bullpen arm. Guys who have four above-average pitches and can throw any pitch at any count can be very good starters.
