I wouldn't say he's HoRam...
Two reasons:
1) Laffey's been beating DIPS consistently in the majors - his K/BB is not good, his GB/FB helps, but not enough to make him GOOD...but...his hit rate isn't high enough given the low Ks...his ERAs are always tolerable...they should be TERRIBLE.
2) He's done this in the AL, not the early-2000s NL...so he's not fattening up against the other pitchers.  HoRam had an OPS of .809 against non-pitchers in the NL.  Laffey has an OPS of .760.  In the AL.  And that doesn't appear to be lucky...he really does limit XBH.
