I look at relief pitchers quite differently from starters as to pitch selection.  Short appearances, exposure, high leverage.  They need to miss as many bats as possible quickly.  Add to that is that they are generally failed starters and those with the good velocity most likely suffered command issues, so there is less to be gained by going for the long set up of a hitter.  
I've watched Crain some, he hasn't impressed me with results, but has pretty good stuff.  From your data, he seems to be going down the Jeff Nelson, or Brad Lidge road, having lights out breaking pitch one night, and praying for a pop out the next.  Me? I'd take him as a set up guy, pay him what 3mil?  Could then move Aardsma, and slide League into a shaky closer role.  Might be fine as I have been getting impatient with the lack of news concerning the ill-conceived train wreck of an offense which should be first and last on things to do this winter.
