Curt Shannon  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Though Shannon can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Shannon, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Shannon is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shannon has some pop in his swing.

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