Hank Mason  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. 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 Mason, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Mason, and that's saying a lot. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Teams run on him more than they do most lefthanders. Mason is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mason has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mason as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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