Huck Flener  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Flener, 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
For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. Flener is nothing special in the field. Flener is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Flener has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Flener as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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