Walt Phillips
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching 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. His composure needs work. When Phillips starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Phillips, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Phillips is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Phillips has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Phillips as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Phillips.
