Steve Bourgeois  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. 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. Because he can't overpower hitters, Bourgeois has to fool them instead. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Bourgeois's move to first base is average. 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. Bourgeois is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bourgeois has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
