Alan Saunders  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Saunders has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Saunders also has a decent changeup. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Saunders, and that's saying a lot. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Saunders's move to first base is average. Saunders is nothing special in the field. Saunders is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Saunders has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Saunders as a pinch-runner on occasion.

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