Bill Blanding  
Left Fielder | Free Agents

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. But Bill's detracters are quick to call attention to his ongoing struggles at the plate with men on base. Blanding always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
His glovework leaves a lot to be desired. Runners take advantage of his weak arm. Blanding isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases.

2010 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Blanding to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
