Mark Vaughn  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Vaughn also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties. It's hard to explain but Mark Vaughn plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Vaughn doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Vaughn is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Vaughn has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
