Curt Parrott  
Starting Pitcher | Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Pittsburgh Pirates 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! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Parrott's move to first base is average. Parrott doesn't field his position well. Parrott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Parrott has some pop in his swing.

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