He was really good as a 21 year old that threw cutters exclusivly - he might go Chacin on us, but I'd give him a year before considering giving up on him.
It's only been a year since his TJ surgery.
As for MJM's scouting comment, no team needs months to get scouting reports on any current Jays pitcher. They're young, but they're established big leaguers (at least as far as pro scouts are concerned).
