Shawn Barton  
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. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. Barton is nothing special in the field. Barton is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Barton has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Barton as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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