Geovany Cianflone  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
I've seen Cianflone work himself into a jam on occassion. The good thing about him is that he knows how to work himself out of them. Cianflone has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Cianflone also has a decent changeup. 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. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
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. Cianflone has a lousy move to first, and opposing managers will run against him all day. Cianflone is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cianflone has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cianflone as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Cianflone flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Cianflone.
