Dirk Arko   Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching 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. Steals sometimes unnerve Arko, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Arko, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting Arko is nothing special in the field. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Arko is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Arko has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Arko as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Arko.           -- Moostard Nyman
