Earl Goulait
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Goulait, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. 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. Goulait is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Goulait has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Goulait as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Goulait.
