Alejandro Pena  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Pena also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Steals sometimes unnerve Pena, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Pena seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Pena is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pena has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pena as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Pena 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.
