Kirk Bullinger  
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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Bullinger, 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
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. Bullinger is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bullinger has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bullinger as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
What The Retired or Inactive Players was thinking when they signed Bullinger to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bullinger.
