Bill Barnes  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He isn't that tough to hit, but it's difficult to get good loft on his pitches and he seldom gives up the longball. God, who doesn't love a knuckler? I saw a slow-motion version of one of his pitches on TV, it's no wonder they're unhittable! Barnes can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Barnes also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Barnes is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Barnes has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Barnes as a pinch-runner on occasion.
