Johnny Navarro
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. Never a hard thrower, Navarro now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Navarro's move to first base is average. Navarro doesn't field his position well. Navarro is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Navarro has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Navarro 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.
