Mike Potts  
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! He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
Potts does an average job of holding runners. Potts is nothing special in the field. Potts is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Potts has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Potts as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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