George Papa  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Papa's endurance makes him well suited to long relief. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Papa is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Papa has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Papa as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Papa has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
