Ryan Karp  
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He fielded his position creditably. Karp does an average job of holding runners. Karp is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Karp has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Karp as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Karp to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Karp.
