Doug Murray  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. 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's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Murray's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Murray is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Murray has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Murray 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.
