Pitching
Hannifin has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. If you're going in to face Hannifin, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Hannifin, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. 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 isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Hannifin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hannifin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Hannifin as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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