Whaty other MLB player do you think resembles Brendan Donnelly's explosive pitching motion?

Maybe Dontelle Willis, but they are two very different pitchers. Willis is a lefty and is very wiry. Donnelly has a more "round" figure. I hope that he works out as a setup man for the Red Sox, but I have had my suspicions about him since he was thrown out of a game in 2005 for using a "foreign substance" on the ball. So in that sense, he resembles Gaylord Perry.

I can't really think of Brendan Donnely's motion - seen him play a million times as an Angel, but the only motion I really recall from the Angel's pen was Ben Weber - he pumps and grimaces and looks all tough, but he's a bum.
For explosive delivery wait until the Giant's call up Tim Linecum - he's 5'11" 170 lbs, but he hits 100 on the gun. He explodes so hard he comes almost a foot off the rubber before he really releases the ball - He'll be starting or closing for the Giants within a month.
And Dice-K has a pretty weird windup - wouldn't call it explosive necessarily.
