Mike Stanton  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. 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! He traditionally fares better against lefties.

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

2010 Outlook
If Stanton 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.
