Tom Urbani  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Urbani also has a decent changeup. 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. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Urbani's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Urbani is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Urbani is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Urbani 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.
