Hector Carrasco  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
If you're going in to face Carrasco, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
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. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Carrasco is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Carrasco has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Carrasco as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Carrasco 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.
