Vince Horsman  
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! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Horsman, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Horsman helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Horsman is nothing special in the field. Horsman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Horsman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Horsman as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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