Julio Valara  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Valara also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

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

2010 Outlook
If Valara 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.
