Joe Abbott
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Abbott also has a decent changeup. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face Abbott, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Abbott, and that's saying a lot. No one questions this kid's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Abbott is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Abbott has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Abbott as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Abbott.
