Bill Asbjornson  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Asbjornson also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Asbjornson, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He continues to have trouble getting lefthanders out.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Asbjornson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Asbjornson has some pop in his swing.

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