Joe Bischoff  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Bischoff can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bischoff, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Bischoff is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bischoff has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Bischoff as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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