Dave Swartzbaugh  
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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Swartzbaugh is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Swartzbaugh has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Swartzbaugh as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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