Bill Grimsley
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching I've seen Grimsley work himself into a jam on occassion. The good thing about him is that he knows how to work himself out of them. 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. 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 Grimsley, and that's saying a lot. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting Grimsley's move to first base is average. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Grimsley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Grimsley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Grimsley as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
