2. Jason Hammel, RHP: 

With the Orioles in 2013, Hammel posted a 7-8 record with a 4.97 ERA. I get it, not the best numbers for a SP but everybody has down years once in a while. In 2012 Hammel was 8-6 with a 3.43 ERA in Baltimore and only gave up nine home runs in 20 starts on the year. He did that with great command on the lower part of the strikezone and kept balls in the yard. His walk rate was actually better in 2013 so we are not talking about a guy that has lost his control, he was just simply leaving pitches too far up and over the plate. He had a hiccup in 2013 but for pitchers things like command do not just disappear forever. By no means is he top of the rotation arm, but he can be helpful for a team with holes in the back end of their rotation. He is a guy that can eat up innings and bolster a rotation in 2014.
