Clifton Saban   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching Saban 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! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success. Defense & Hitting Saban's move to first base is average. Saban is nothing special in the field. Saban is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Saban has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Saban as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook If Saban doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.           -- Moostard Nyman
