Marino Santana
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Santana can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Santana also has a decent changeup. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Santana is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Santana 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.
