I don't know much about him, but some of the things he seems to have said really strikes me as... off.

I'm not sure he's such a good choice, and i really doubt that he'll bring much to the green party ticket. Especially with his comments on Bernie Sanders. If the Green Party wants to establish themselves as a serious party, I think Jill Stein has done a poor job of it with her choice in running mate. I know that Bernie Sanders had an opportunity to be the Green Party Candidate--but he turned it down, not wanting to be responsible for Donald Trump winning the election. I think the good news is that Sanders movement--unlike the Green Party--won't disappear for four years after this election, and I think he'll push some much needed changes. Even if he's not running for President (and that, IMO, was what made him a good candidate in the first place)
