Ken Edenfield
Starting 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. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Edenfield's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. 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. Edenfield is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Edenfield has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Edenfield as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Edenfield.
