Pitching
If you're going in to face Pinson, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Pinson, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Pinson's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Pinson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pinson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pinson as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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