Mike Harkey  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Harkey can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Harkey, 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
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Harkey is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Harkey has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Harkey as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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