Doug Linton  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Linton also has a decent changeup. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Linton's move to first base is average. Linton is nothing special in the field. Linton is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Linton has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Linton as a pinch-runner on occasion.
