Paul Aldrich   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching A groundball pitcher, Aldrich needs to have sharp command to succeed. Aldrich can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Dating back to his days in the minors, Aldrich has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders. Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Aldrich is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Aldrich has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Aldrich as a pinch-runner on occasion.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
