Scott Walter
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Walter can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Walter also has a decent changeup. Walter also throws a screwball. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Walter is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Walter is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Walter has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Walter as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
