Desperation starter from pitching-thin summer signs with Pirates. Kept getting DFA'd, kept coming back. If not good, then some sort of perseverant.

I remember Gary Cohen challenging Keith to correctly spell Eickhoff's name on the air. I think Keith got the last name right, but blew the reversed vowels in the first name.

I honestly thought he'd help us last year at one point. Guess not.

The problem with Eickhoff, aside from the fact that he suxx, is that he was, like, Plan E who got pressed into service far too early when Carrasco, Yamamoto, & Lucchesi all flamed out simultaneously (well, Carrasco wasn't able to answer the bell to start the season). He was designed to be your 'Break Glass in case of Back-to-back DHs' guy but wound as '(temporarily) Introducing Your New 4th Starter' guy
