Tony Batista  
Shortstop | Atlanta Braves

Hitting
Batista never has been a patient hitter. Batista always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Batista doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Batista you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate, and he knows when to unload or take his time.

2010 Outlook
If Batista doesn't perform, the Atlanta Braves won't hesitate to send him down to the minors.
