Belve Thurman  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Thurman also has a decent changeup. His composure needs work. When Thurman starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Thurman helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Thurman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Thurman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Thurman 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.
