Prescott Speaker  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Speaker can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Speaker also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Speaker does an average job of holding runners. 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. Speaker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Speaker has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Speaker as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
If Speaker 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.
