Dave Clayton  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Now he's the consumate ground-ball pitcher, which I love: ground balls never leave the stadium. He's unflappable on the mound, possessing the confidence to throw any of his offerings at any time in the count. 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

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