Clyde Powell  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. 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! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Powell, and that's saying a lot. 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. Powell doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Powell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Powell has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Powell as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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