Wattie Wiford   Starting 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 Wiford, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Wiford, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Wiford is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Wiford is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wiford has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Wiford as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook But if you ask me, I'll pass on Wiford.           -- Moostard Nyman
