Fred Greer
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Greer also has a decent changeup. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Greer, and that's saying a lot. Greer is a flyball pitcher susceptible to the home run. Dating back to his days in the minors, Greer has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Greer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Greer has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Greer as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Greer.
