Tom Linke
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Linke also has a decent changeup. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His composure needs work. When Linke starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Linke, and that's saying a lot. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting Linke 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. Linke is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Linke has some pop in his swing.
2010 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Linke to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Linke.
