Shawn Boskie  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Boskie's control is among the best in the game. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. But Boskie, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Boskie's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
Boskie uses a slide step to keep runners close. Boskie is nothing special in the field. Boskie is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Boskie has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Boskie as a pinch-runner on occasion.
