Matt Grott  
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 Grott, and that's saying a lot. Grott has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Grott is nothing special in the field. Grott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Grott has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Grott as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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