Tom Perrin  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Perrin can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Perrin also has a decent changeup. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

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