Doug Drabek  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Drabek can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Drabek also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Drabek has to fool them instead. The one thing I must say I don't like about Drabek is how easily rattled he gets. If he makes a mistake to a hitter and the guy winds up on second or third, you can pretty much count on the guy scoring. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Drabek's move to first base is average. 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. Drabek is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Drabek has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Drabek as a pinch-runner on occasion.
