Ramon Fermin  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. But Fermin, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. 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, Fermin's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Fermin helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. 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. Fermin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fermin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Fermin as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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