Sterling Hitchcock  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Hitchcock can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
Hitchcock is nothing special in the field. Teams run on him more than they do most lefthanders. Hitchcock is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hitchcock has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
