Eric Plunk  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Steals sometimes unnerve Plunk, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. If you're going in to face Plunk, 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. Plunk is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Plunk has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Plunk as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Plunk 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.
