Larry Chamberlain  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. If you're going in to face Chamberlain, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Chamberlain, and that's saying a lot. No one questions this guy's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. 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, Chamberlain's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. It's hard to explain but Larry Chamberlain plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Chamberlain does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Chamberlain is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Chamberlain has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Chamberlain as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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