Derek Aucoin  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Aucoin, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Aucoin's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
Aucoin does an average job of holding runners. Aucoin is nothing special in the field. Aucoin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Aucoin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Aucoin as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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