Dave Leiper  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Leiper also has a decent changeup. 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. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Leiper, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Leiper helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Leiper is nothing special in the field. Leiper is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Leiper has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Leiper as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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