Jim Withrow  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. If you're going in to face Withrow, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Withrow, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. 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. Withrow is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Withrow has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Withrow 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.
