Ken Griffin  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Griffin, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Griffin helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Griffin is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Griffin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Griffin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Griffin 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.
