Manny Fries  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Fries is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Fries has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Fries as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
