Danny Nelson  
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 Nelson, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Nelson, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Nelson doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Nelson's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Nelson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Nelson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Nelson as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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