Julio Santana  
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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Santana has an impressive presence on the mound, always taking an aggressive posture. He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Santana is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Santana has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
