Elmer Sherry  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Sherry can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sherry has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Sherry also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Sherry has a very good move to first base, and he varies it so that he's extremely difficult to read. Sherry is nothing special in the field. Sherry is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sherry has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Sherry 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.
