Don Florence
Relief 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. His composure needs work. When Florence starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. But Florence, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. 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, Florence's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. Florence is nothing special in the field. Florence is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Florence has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Florence as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Florence.
