Gary Rose  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. Rose can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Rose has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Never a hard thrower, Rose now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. 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 slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Rose helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. 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. Rose is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rose has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Rose 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.
