Wilson Butler  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Butler can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Butler also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. Butler is nothing special in the field. Butler is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Butler has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Butler 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.
