Scott Kamieniecki  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Kamieniecki, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. 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 doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Kamieniecki is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kamieniecki has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kamieniecki as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Kamieniecki 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.
