Rick Aguilera  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Aguilera also has a decent changeup. Steals sometimes unnerve Aguilera, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders. He absolutely loves playing before the hometown crowd.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Aguilera is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Aguilera has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Aguilera as a pinch-runner on occasion.
