Erik Bennett  
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's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

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

2010 Outlook
If Bennett doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
