Mike Magnante  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

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

2010 Outlook
If Magnante 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.
