Steve Reed  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Reed, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Reed does an average job of holding runners. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Reed is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Reed has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Reed as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Reed 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.
