Scouting Report:
Barnes spent 10 pro seasons as a journeyman outfielder, even reaching the
majors, but in 2005 began his attempt at pitching. Boston is
tutoring him on the knuckleball. Barnes now throws 90% knucklers at
varying speeds from 60 - 75 mph, all typically with a good natural sink.
Mixes in a below average fastball and an occasional curve. Nice
pickoff move.
