Bob Patterson  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Patterson has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Patterson seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Patterson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Patterson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Patterson as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
Patterson flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Patterson.
