Brian Bark  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bark, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Bark helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Bark is nothing special in the field. Bark is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bark has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bark as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bark.
