Al Komminsk
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Komminsk can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting 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. Komminsk does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Komminsk is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Komminsk has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Komminsk as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Komminsk.
