Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Gillespie also has a decent changeup. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Gillespie helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. 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. Gillespie is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gillespie has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gillespie 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.
