Tim Holloway  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Holloway, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
Teams run on him more than they do most lefthanders. Holloway's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Holloway is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Holloway has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Holloway as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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