Kevin Clinkscales   Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Clinkscales 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. Clinkscales also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Defense & Hitting Clinkscales remains one of the best fielding pitchers in the game's history. He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Clinkscales is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Clinkscales has some pop in his swing.           -- Moostard Nyman
