Steve Dashner  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
If you're going in to face Dashner, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Dashner, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Dashner doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Dashner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dashner has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Dashner as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Dashner to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Dashner.
