Cleon Bridges  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
If you're going in to face Bridges, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bridges, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Bridges's curveball tends to hang. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Bridges doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Bridges is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bridges has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Bridges as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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