My completely uninformed opinion was that he would be a pretty good to great pitcher, at least for a few years before any potential overuse from Japan set in. That said, no matter how much success he has at first, you have to hold off at least a couple months to give the league a chance to get accustomed to an experienced guy they've never seen before (as opposed to a rookie coming up and just dominating by "throwing").
