Peter Kennsington  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Kennsington can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Kennsington has been regarded as a poor fielder throughout his career, and last year was no different. Kennsington is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kennsington has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Kennsington as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
