Jaime Navarro  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He produces tons of groundballs with his downward movement. He's unflappable on the mound, possessing the confidence to throw any of his offerings at any time in the count. Navarro performs extremely well in the late innings, but unfortunately his endurance prevents him from getting there very often. He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone. 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. Navarro is nothing special in the field. Navarro is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Navarro has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Navarro as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this kid brings to the table.
