John Habyan  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
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. Habyan doesn't make much of an attempt to combat the running game. Basestealers ran at will last year. Habyan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Habyan has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Habyan as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Habyan 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.
