Reece Barrickman  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Barrickman, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Barrickman's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Barrickman will make routine plays, but like most young pitchers he needs more experience to improve as a fielder. His move to first base is slow and ineffective. Barrickman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Barrickman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Barrickman as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Barrickman.
