John Carson  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Carson can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Carson has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Carson also has a decent changeup. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Carson, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

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

2014 Outlook
I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
