Bruce Timlin
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching It's tough to get much loft on the ball against him, as he works down in the strike zone to begin with and his two-seamer produces mostly groundballs. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Timlin can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He's reasonably quick to the plate but needs to vary his pickoff moves. Good baserunners appeared to time him last year. Timlin is nothing special in the field. Timlin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Timlin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Timlin as a pinch-runner on occasion.
