John Farrell  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Farrell also has a decent changeup. 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Farrell, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. Farrell is nothing special in the field. Farrell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Farrell has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Farrell as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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