Scott Taylor  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Taylor, and that's saying a lot. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Taylor's move to first base is average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Taylor is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Taylor has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Taylor as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
What The Retired or Inactive Players was thinking when they signed Taylor to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Taylor.
