Jim Gott  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Gott 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 attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He never has controlled the running game. Gott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gott has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gott as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Gott 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.
