Verne Donez  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Donez can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Donez also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties the same way.

Defense & Hitting
Donez does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Donez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Donez has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Donez as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Donez. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
