Randy Myers
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He's unflappable on the mound, possessing the confidence to throw any of his offerings at any time in the count. This guy has closer written all over him. Myers's bread and butter pitch is his slider. I've seen it baffle many a right handed batter. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Myers, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Myers is nothing special in the field. Myers is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Myers has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Myers as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook If Myers 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.
