Jim Pittsley  
Relief Pitcher | Boston Red Sox

Pitching
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
Pittsley's move to first base is excellent. Pittsley has lots of energy. He comes off the mound like a cat and doesn't make many errors. Pittsley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pittsley has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
Pittsley performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Boston Red Sox to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
