George Pierce  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. Pierce throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. Pierce can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has a very good move to first base and is solid at controlling the running game. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Pierce is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Pierce has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Pierce as a pinch-runner on occasion.
