Mike Walker
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Walker can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His composure needs work. When Walker starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. 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. 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.
