Dick Pearson  
Relief 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. 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 Pearson, and that's saying a lot. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Pearson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pearson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Pearson as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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