Ravelo Manzanillo  
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! If you're going in to face Manzanillo, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Manzanillo is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Manzanillo has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Manzanillo as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Manzanillo 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.
