Joe Olivo  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
If you're going in to face Olivo, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Olivo, and that's saying a lot. No one questions this kid's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Olivo is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Olivo has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Olivo as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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