Scouting Report: The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project)

The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project) is a short-notice replacement team created by the the commissioner after the Pabst Pounding Pirates failed to sign their hot young prospect, and then folded for lack of fan support. The team consists of league veteran and Commissioner Level 2 User, Zach Morgan, and foreign born fireballer, Dave Easley. From the looks of things, they may be contenders.

Zach "Gaylord" Morgan is a command and control pitcher who sets hitters up with a slider, and then finishes them off with his signature cutter. The cutter moves very slightly away from a right handed batter, but it also loses velocity at a rate greater than any other pitch currently in play. Interestingly, Morgan is the only pitcher in the league who actually prefers scuffed and/or broken balls (hence the nickname), as the extra drag improves his cutter.

Dave Easley is a change of pace from the Gaylord, as he relies almost exclusively on his fastball. In his short career stateside, Easley has already drawn comparisons to a young Randy Johnson, as his completely over the top delivery gives his fastball a distinctive downward plane. He works the top of the strikezone, at times wildly, but he has the raw stuff to get out of jams. Sources close to Easley claim that he may be attempting to add a sidearm riser to his repertoir. If he succeeds, it would be a formiddable addition to his already tough sinking fastball.

At the plate, The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project) is just good enough to make their pitching stand up. Easley may have better power, while Morgan's plate discipline is more advanced. Either way, neither batter should be taken for granted.

  1. I am looking forward to playing against this relative of Damion Easley. Sounds like he has more power than the former big leaguer.
