Amaury Telemaco  
Starting Pitcher | Houston Astros

Pitching
His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Telemaco can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his slider. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Because he can't overpower hitters, Telemaco has to fool them instead. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Telemaco is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Telemaco has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this guy brings to the table.
