Bobby Cooper  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Cooper throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. Cooper can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Cooper has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Dating back to his days in the minors, Cooper has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Cooper is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cooper has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Cooper as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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