Darryl Kile
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Kile, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Kile is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kile has some pop in his swing.
2010 Outlook It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
