Count Sanders  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Sanders can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sanders also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Sanders has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Sanders is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sanders has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Sanders 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.
