Thane Marriner  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Marriner can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Marriner's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Marriner is nothing special in the field. Marriner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Marriner has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Marriner as a pinch-runner on occasion.
