Ray Pastorius
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He keeps the ball down and gets a lot of groundballs. Pastorius can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. Pastorius is nothing special in the field. Pastorius is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pastorius has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pastorius as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook If Pastorius doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
