Jayson Liburd
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Liburd can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Liburd is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Liburd is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Liburd has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Liburd as a pinch-runner on occasion.
