Will Postle  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Postle 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. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! 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. 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. Postle is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Postle has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Postle as a pinch-runner on occasion.
