They said it...
"The 24-year-old lefty does have a power arsenal that could work well in the back end of the bullpen if he can refine his control. He's got a big fastball that tops out at 97 mph and a nasty power slider that he throws up to 91 mph with depth and quickness."
Jonathan Mayo, MLB.com - December 22, 2009
"He was pretty impressive. He throws strikes from the left side. He is in the same breath as Phil Coke. He showed enough stuff that it's hard not to pay attention to him."
Brian Cashman, General Manager - New York Yankees (quoted by Geroge King, Baseball America) - October 17, 2008
