Ken Andrus  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. Andrus also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Andrus, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. Never a hard thrower, Andrus now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Andrus is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Andrus has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Andrus as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Andrus.
