Toby Borland  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Borland also has a decent changeup. 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 tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Borland's move to first base is average. 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. Borland is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Borland has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Borland as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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