Paul Ricketts  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
Ricketts has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Ricketts also has a decent changeup. 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. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Ricketts is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Ricketts is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ricketts has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Ricketts as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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