Gary Griffey
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Griffey, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Griffey, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting 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. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Griffey is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Griffey has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Griffey as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Griffey to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Griffey.
