Paiton Riback  
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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Riback, and that's saying a lot. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

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

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