Bill Bando  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Bando can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bando, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Bando doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Bando's follow-through leaves him in a vulnerable position, so he has trouble with comebackers. Bando is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bando has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Bando as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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