Eric Greenlee
Relief Pitcher | Texas Rangers
Pitching Greenlee is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Greenlee also has a decent changeup. He generates few groundballs, though he keeps the ball in the park. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Greenlee'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. Greenlee is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Greenlee has some pop in his swing.
2010 Outlook Greenlee performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Texas Rangers to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
