Tim Watson
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Watson has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His composure needs work. When Watson starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. Dating back to his days in the minors, Watson has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Watson's move to first base is average. 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. Watson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Watson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Watson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
