Bert Gorman  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Gorman has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. If you're going in to face Gorman, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Gorman, and that's saying a lot. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Gorman's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Gorman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gorman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Gorman as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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