Buy Low fastball velocity stable and above league, the arm is fine — luck-free xERA 4.23 is right around league, a usable arm the ERA is hiding; BABIP-against 0.320 elevated and unstable, bloating the ERA; buy the player, not the number.high 0.77 (narrative held for review)

Cleavinger is a buy-low — his ERA is hiding a useful arm.

ERA ugly, but the skill it regresses to is league-or-better and the BABIP-against is unsustainable. Buy low.
