Bob Scanlan  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
If you're going in to face Scanlan, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Scanlan doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Scanlan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Scanlan has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Scanlan as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Scanlan.
