George Burnitz  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He produces tons of groundballs with his downward movement. 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 Burnitz, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Burnitz, and that's saying a lot. Burnitz has had a tendency to fall victim to big innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Burnitz is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Burnitz is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Burnitz has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Burnitz as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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