Fernando Bonjour  
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. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. But Bonjour, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. 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. Bonjour is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bonjour has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Bonjour as a pinch-runner on occasion.
