I wouldn't touch him right now, but perhaps that is the met fan in me talking. He looked good enough in Spring last year and then he is down before the second game of the year is complete.
I thought his velocity was slightly up from what it was last year (he hit 91 on the gun against Ndlands, right?), but I don't think that is a good enough reason to take him. Also, I also don't see how he could end up in a pen anywhere after looking at his stats for the first few innings of games from last year (abysmal). My guess is he ends up the 5th starter for, say, the Dodgers since I heard they were interested, but I would definitely hold off on dropping anyone for him.
Good Luck
