Well, it's true that he's never had a propensity for giving up HRs in the past. His K numbers are really pretty good this year, and his other peripheral numbers are pretty typical for him, which is to say not bad at all. I think he has some value as a reliever based on what he has done in the past, and what I've seen this year. I really do think he is right that he is just not executing the way he needs to right now, which has lead to the HRs. He seems like a good guy, so hopefully, for his sake and the team's he will turn it around.
