Omar Olivares
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Olivares also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Olivares, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Olivares is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Olivares has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Olivares as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
