Jeff Tabaka  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
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 Tabaka, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Tabaka is nothing special in the field. Tabaka is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tabaka has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Tabaka as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
If Tabaka 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.
