Bob East  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

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

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