Tub Klippstein  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
A groundball pitcher, Klippstein needs to have sharp command to succeed. Steals sometimes unnerve Klippstein, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. 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 Klippstein, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Klippstein, and that's saying a lot. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Klippstein is nothing special in the field. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Klippstein is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Klippstein has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Klippstein as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Klippstein.
