Derek Lilliquist
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Lilliquist also has a decent changeup. 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 Lilliquist does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Lilliquist is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lilliquist has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lilliquist as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Lilliquist.
