WarrenG Harding  
Relief Pitcher | Cincinnati Reds

Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Harding is nothing special in the field. Harding is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Harding has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
The Cincinnati Reds signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Harding like a hot potato if something better comes along.
