Jose Rijo  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Rijo can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Rijo is nothing special in the field. Rijo is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rijo has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rijo as a pinch-runner on occasion.
