Dean Hartgraves  
Relief 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 tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Hartgraves helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Hartgraves is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hartgraves has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hartgraves as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hartgraves.
