He has a career 4.91 ERA and 1.418 WHIP as a starter.

I don't think he's a starter or long relief guy miscast, I think he's just a borderline MLB guy. He might be able to hang around as a 5th starter on a bad team with no expectations of winning, but I just don't think he belongs anywhere on a non-losing baseball team.
