Starting Pitcher: Dave Balierough

Dave Balierough has been with the Palms for several years now. He is usually a reliable back of the rotation pitcher, but had some serious struggles to begin the season. He was incredible in the second half, though, bringing his ERA under 5.00 after it spent much of the beginning of the year near 4 digits. His greatest problem is a high contact rate and plenty of home runs in that contact. His success, therefore, is greatly tied to the defense behind, him, which, unfortunately, isn't going to be a strong point with Ayoz Sadan headed to Kansas City and Jaspero Gonzalez expected to see a lot of time in the infield.
