Mike Sirotka  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Sirotka can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Sirotka's move to first base is average. Sirotka is nothing special in the field. Sirotka is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sirotka has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sirotka as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Sirotka 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.
