When it goes wrong, it all goes out with the dishwater. I mean the kind of outings that make it look like your season ERA sucked. What are his pitches like that make him liable to the big inning, and can he avoid getting beat up at big league level?</p> My impression of Bray (purely from box scores) is that when it goes right, it can be really nice - lots of K’s, few hits.

Or is Bowden's scouting operation so lousy that he spent a first round pick on a guy with such limited capabilities?</p> Given Bray’s college role of a closer, isn’t it possible that he assumes a role beyond a LOOGY?
