Kim Staley  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He produces tons of groundballs with his downward movement. When his release point drops below three-quarters, his fastball tends to hang in the strike zone. 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. He attacks lefties and righties the same way. He struggles away from home.

Defense & Hitting
Staley does an average job of holding runners. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Staley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Staley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Staley as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
