Eli Fitzmaurice
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Fitzmaurice can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. 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 Fitzmaurice, and that's saying a lot. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Fitzmaurice is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fitzmaurice has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Fitzmaurice as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Fitzmaurice.
