Erik Rommel  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Rommel 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. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Rommel seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Rommel is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Rommel has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Rommel as a pinch-runner on occasion.
