Frank Hartley  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Hartley can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Hartley also has a decent changeup. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Hartley, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Hartley does an average job of holding runners. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Hartley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hartley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Hartley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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