Both Hammond and Kerry Wood could be considered sidearm. Both drop down to about three quarters, although Wood isn't quite as bad as he used to be.
Hammond sucks fat donkey balls and the Yanks wasted a ton of money signing him. They thought he was better than Stanton for some reason. The heap didn't even make the playoff roster.
I can't find any of Hammond, but Kerry Wood (http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?srch=1&p=kerry+wood&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp-tab-img-t&n=20&fl=0) looks like an overhand pitcher. Maybe 3/4, but I don't think he's sidearm enough for a Sidearm rating in RBI.
Anyone else have an opinion?
Anyone else see someone who could be considered a side-armer?
Jason would know best, but I don't think Kerry Wood would be considered a side-arm pitcher. Perhaps semantically, but 95% of the baseball fans out there wouldn't. So I wouldn't make him a side-armer...
I would also say not to include Redding as one of Houston's starters. Wade Miller RHP-no sidearm would be the better option in my opinion.
