Irv Barnes  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Barnes forces hitters to keep the ball on the ground. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Barnes also has a decent changeup. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Barnes's move to first base is average. Barnes is nothing special in the field. Barnes is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Barnes has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Barnes as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
