Brian Sackinsky  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Sackinsky can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Never a hard thrower, Sackinsky now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Sackinsky is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sackinsky has some pop in his swing.

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