OVERVIEW Named the Rays No. 2 starter by Manager Kevin Cash on March 29 marks his fifth major league season, though this was the first time he was in an Opening Day starting rotation was on the DL (left shoulder tendinitis) to begin the year in 2015 in 2014 and 2012, Detroit s schedule didn t require a fifth starter so he began the year in the bullpen (2014) and Triple-A (2012) spent all of 2013 in the bullpen IN REVIEW Limited to 12 starts as he spent a total of 105 games on the DL with a left shoulder injury he was 5-2, and the Rays were 8-4 made a club-high 7 rehab starts between three levels after returning from his second DL stint on Aug 16 at TEX, he made 9 starts and went 5-1 with a 3.24 ERA (50-IP, 18-ER) lost his first start after returning (Aug 16 at TEX, 5-3), then finished the season 5-0 over his last 8 starts (2.54 ERA). MUCH IN COMMON Has modeled parts of his pitching style after LH Cliff Lee, another Arkansas native and former Razorback with an assortment of pitches the two have the same agent (Darek Braunecker) and have worked out together in past offseasons. I think he s capable of being as good as [Astros Cy Young winner and Smyly s college roommate Dallas] Keuchel last year, honestly. I think he s got that much deception, he s that competitive and he s that good a pitcher. I really do.
