Tim Mahoney
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. If you're going in to face Mahoney, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Mahoney, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Mahoney's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Mahoney is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mahoney has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Mahoney as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Mahoney.
