Terry Mathews  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Steals sometimes unnerve Mathews, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. But Mathews, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Mathews is nothing special in the field. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Mathews is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mathews has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mathews as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Mathews 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.
