Ernie Tobin  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Tobin, and that's saying a lot. Tobin has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Tobin helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Tobin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tobin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Tobin as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Tobin.
