It's way to early to pick him up in a 12 team league. He has decent stuff, and seems to be an incredibly hard worker, but he likely will never amount to more than a back of the rotation pitcher.
Over the course of a season, I'd expect around 12 wins and a 4.50 ERA. Granted, this is only after seeing him in a few starts, and I could be wrong, but he certainly doesn't have "lights out" stuff. His FB tops out about 90-91, and he has good breaking stuff when he is able to spot it. But he is certainly not overpowering, and seems to get into a lot of jams so far and get out of them without too much damage.
Pass on him unless you are in an NL only league...
