Buddy Scanlan  
Relief 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. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Scanlan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Scanlan has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Scanlan as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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