Tom Rose  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Rose also throws a screwball. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Rose is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rose has some pop in his swing.

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