Carey Paige
Starting Pitcher | Anaheim Angels
Pitching Paige can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Paige has to fool them instead. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Paige's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Paige is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Paige has some pop in his swing.
