Kevin Gross  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Gross can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Gross has to fool them instead. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Gross's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Gross is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gross has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gross as a pinch-runner on occasion.
