Lynn Palmeiro
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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Palmeiro, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Palmeiro does an average job of holding runners. 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. Palmeiro is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Palmeiro has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Palmeiro 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.
