Joel Adamson  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Adamson 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, Adamson now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Adamson is nothing special in the field. Adamson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Adamson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Adamson as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Adamson.
