Hal Thomas  
Relief Pitcher | Idaho Sporks

Pitching
If you're going in to face Thomas, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Thomas, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. 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. Thomas is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Thomas has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Idaho Sporks have been known to use Thomas as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
What The Idaho Sporks was thinking when they signed Thomas to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. Thomas flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Idaho Sporks to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Thomas.
