SirGarfiel Sobers  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Sobers, and that's saying a lot. Sobers has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Sobers is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Sobers has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Sobers as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
Sobers has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
