Herman Brantley  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Brantley can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Brantley, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Brantley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Brantley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Brantley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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