Rusty Meacham  
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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Meacham, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Basestealers rarely test him. Meacham is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Meacham is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Meacham has some pop in his swing.

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