About Joe Yerdon: Joe is a guy that just about everyone fears when he's on the mound, but not as much when he's at the plate. However, Joe is a very streaky hitter, and often comes through with runners on base. He has a Randy Johnson-like fastball, and thanks to Quentin Jensen's advice, is finally gaining control of where it goes. Joe has some pop in his bat, but he needs to work on hitting singles and doubles, not just the long-ball. Oh, and he knows Lance Bass from *NSYNC. Seriously.

2002 Outlook: In the 2000 playoffs, instead of throwing a fastball on every pitch, Joe kept hitters guessing at what he was going to throw next, and reduced his number of walks en route to the first win of his career. Joe's assortment didn't work so well in 2001 though, so he went back to throwing mostly fastballs in order to save his stats. It will be interesting to see what will work for Joe in 2002, but chances are he'll figure out a way to get hitters out.
