Ed Rogers
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching Rogers 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Rogers, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Rogers is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rogers has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Rogers as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Rogers.
