Bill Risley  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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. Risley has had a tendency to fall victim to big innings. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Risley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Risley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Risley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
