Ray Wockenfuss  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Wockenfuss has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Wockenfuss also has a decent changeup. 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. 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 continues to have trouble getting lefthanders out.

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. Wockenfuss is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wockenfuss has some pop in his swing.

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