Neal Asbell  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Asbell can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Asbell also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Asbell has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

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