Rahmier Ace
Starting 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 Ace, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Ace, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Ace's curveball tends to hang. Dating back to his days in the minors, Ace has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Ace doesn't field his position well. He has a poor pickoff move and a slow delivery, so basestealers can run at will. Ace is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ace has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Ace as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Ace.
