Shane Dennis  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Dennis can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Dennis also has a decent changeup. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. 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. Dennis doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Dennis is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dennis 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.
