Hitting
Azharuddin always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. Azharuddin is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.
2010 Outlook
The Retired or Inactive Players signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Azharuddin like a hot potato if something better comes along.
