Tommy Bonds
Starting Pitcher | Dublin Deadbeat Drunks
Pitching Bonds can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Basestealers rarely test him. 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.
2014 Outlook Bonds performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Dublin Deadbeat Drunks to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
