Rich Robertson  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Robertson, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Robertson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Robertson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Robertson as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Robertson.
