John Briscoe  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
If you're going in to face Briscoe, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Briscoe is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Briscoe has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Briscoe 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.
