Pip King  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face King, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than King, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, King's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
King is nothing special in the field. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. King is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but King has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use King as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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