Tom Bottenfield  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
His sinking two-seam fastball and slider produce tons of groundballs. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bottenfield, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

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

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