Branch Boutot   Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching Boutot can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders. Defense & Hitting Boutot's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Boutot is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Boutot has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Boutot as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook If Boutot 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
