I am yet to face him but I’m not exactly looking forward to it

Faced him last night, not impressed...good luck tho.

HOF difficultly 8IP 3ER and a lot of Ks (probably my opponents is not a good hitter). His sinker curve combo is superb on getting strike and his slider also go down to high 70. Speed differential is superb if you can use him well.

I can't wait to use him!

I faced him last night and struggled at first
Because I was just coming out of my shoes on every pitch. Reminded me of facing Maddux ; it took a couple of innings to figure out the guy’s approach and slow down my timing but after the 3rd inning he was essentially batting practice -
I pitched with him for an inning, I guess my opponent had to go somewhere. He feels like the type of pitcher you might be able to get 5 or 6 good innings from, but I would definitely want a rested bullpen when I throw him again.

Exactly. He's a 6 inning max pitcher, but what you get IMO is a solid to good 6 innings from him. I have a deep pen so 99 Mills, 94 Kyle Hendricks, etc I'm ok using. If I can get 7 out of them, to me that's icing on the cake.

He reminds me a lot of the wainwright ss from last year except mills has I think much better h/9. Wainwright did well for a lot of people last year. Played a lot like hershiser.

I know this is a 2 week old thread, but I just faced him for the 1st time in RS and I couldn't do anything with him. Pitches breaking from the top of the zone off the table and I had a real hard time differentiating pitches. I ended up winning the game 1-0 but he was tough, this was on AS by the way. Small PCI and tons of weak contact and solid contact hit nothing but wiffle balls.
