Mike Dyer  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Dyer has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. 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 can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. But Dyer, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Dyer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Dyer has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Dyer as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
Dyer flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Dyer.
