Jeff Fassero  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Fassero is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fassero has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Fassero as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Fassero doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
