Gil Heredia  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

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. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Heredia is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Heredia has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Heredia as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Heredia 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.
