Willie Wiltse  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Wiltse can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Never a hard thrower, Wiltse now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Wiltse never has been a good fielder. Wiltse is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wiltse has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Wiltse 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.
