Ricky Bones  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Bones can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Bones also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Bones has to fool them instead. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Bones is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bones has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bones as a pinch-runner on occasion.
