That is just my feelings looking at the stats but YMMV. Also I noticed that his salary went up to $5M from $500K. He is not worth the $5M IMO. The more I look at his ratings and his actual stats I would not put him in my rotation, but he might make a decent MR.
Might be a MR may be a stretch. In my 5 point scale he would be 3/2/4 with a 4-3-2 pitch ratings. I rarely look at any MR that isnt a 4 in 2 of the three pitcher ratings and a 4/5 in at least 2 pitches.

Definitely not worth the $5M.
