"McGee produces average ground ball rates but also has massive strikeout totals, including a strikeout rate of 10.19 K/9 in 88.1 double-A innings. He fights his command and control at times but has shown signs of improvement. With a little more time, McGee has the potential to develop into a top high-leverage reliever."
Marc Hulet, FanGraphs.com - March 22, 2011
"He worked very hard to get back right about the one-year anniversary of Tommy John surgery, and while he didn't throw a ton of innings in 2009, he did get back in the swing of things, which should carry over into quicker development in 2010. I think being lefthanded is what has kept him as a starter as long as he has. His control has been iffy throughout his career, particularly in his ability to keep the ball in the lower half of the strike zone. I believe he's probably better suited to relieve, but considering the life in that left arm, the Rays probably want to make certain he can't start before shifting him to the pen."
