Gregg Wade  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Wade can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Wade has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Dating back to his days in the minors, Wade has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Wade is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wade has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Wade as a pinch-runner on occasion.
