Jason Grimsley  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Grimsley, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Grimsley is nothing special in the field. Grimsley doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Grimsley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Grimsley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Grimsley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Grimsley. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
