Samuel Tanner  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Tanner, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Tanner, and that's saying a lot. Tanner has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
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. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Tanner is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tanner has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Tanner as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Tanner was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Tanner? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Tanner.
