Mo Sanford
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching If you're going in to face Sanford, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Sanford helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. 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. Sanford is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sanford has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sanford as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Sanford.
