Ryan Creek  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Creek can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. But Creek, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Creek is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Creek 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.
