John Dettmer  
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 Dettmer, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Dettmer's move to first base is average. 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. Dettmer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dettmer has some pop in his swing.

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