Bobby Parks  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Parks, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Parks's move to first base is average. Parks is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Parks is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Parks has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Parks 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.
