Not sure there's much meaning in the rest splits...and I say that because he wasn't making better pitches yesterday. :)  He looks similar to Horacio Ramirez in terms of the pitches he throws.  86-88 mph "fast"ball with only average command, 82 mph "slider" that doens't slide all that much...he does sink his change up better than HoRam did...but that might just take him from utter meatball to tolerable org filler.  Last night, he gave up three big flies to CF/LF...on a line shot to Bradley, one a homer to anywhere except the spot it landed (warning track just in front of the triangle), and one a crisply smashed double off the green monster.  He also gave up a hard smash to Figgins at third that should have been a double and a humpback liner right to Ichiro that was hit pretty hard.  Not to mention the 500 foot HR Ortiz hit to several feet just foul of the the LF pole. :)
He's had other appearances where he appeared to pitch alright...but last night he pitched rather poorly and got very...VERY...lucky.
