Mike Hartley  
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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Hartley's move to first base is average. Hartley is nothing special in the field. Hartley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hartley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hartley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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