Mel Poole  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Poole also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Poole can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His composure needs work. When Poole starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. Never a hard thrower, Poole 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
Poole's move to first base is average. Poole is nothing special in the field. Poole is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Poole has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Poole 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.
