Rick Paciorek  
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. Steals sometimes unnerve Paciorek, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Paciorek, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
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. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Paciorek is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Paciorek has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Paciorek as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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