Buddy Menendez
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. 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 Menendez's move to first base is average. Menendez is nothing special in the field. Menendez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Menendez has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Menendez 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.
