Denny Mayer
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Mayer can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. No one questions this guy's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting Mayer's move to first base is average. Mayer is nothing special in the field. Mayer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mayer has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mayer as a pinch-runner on occasion.
