Ed Neel  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Neel, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Neel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Neel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Neel as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Neel.
