Lee Mills
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. 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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Mills is nothing special in the field. Mills is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mills has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Mills 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.
