Prior to that injury, James spent parts of four seasons in the Houston 'pen as a hard-throwing but command-challenged middle reliever who could miss bats in droves. He's pitched 106 1/3 innings in the majors and carries a 4.64 ERA with a huge 34.3% strikeout rate but an ugly 13.2% walk rate.
Between his injuries and his history of command troubles, James is a project for the Cardinals and little more than a roll of the dice at this point.
