Jimmy Key  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Key can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Key also has a decent changeup. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Key, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

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