Duane Walker  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Walker also has a decent changeup. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Walker's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Walker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Walker 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.
