Guy Borden
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Borden's control is among the best in the game. He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Borden doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Borden is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Borden has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Borden 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.
