Burley Bissell  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Bissell can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Bissell also has a decent changeup. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
Bissell is nothing special in the field. Basestealers have succeeded against Bissell because his pickoff move is weak for a lefthander. Bissell is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bissell has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bissell as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Burley Bissell is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Bissell.
