Jimmy Bartling  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bartling, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Bartling doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Bartling is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bartling has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Bartling to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bartling.
