Matt Franco  
Second Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Franco is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Let's face facts: Franco hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
When you play Franco you're not putting him in for his glove. Matt's arm leaves a little to be a desired. He has no speed at all and runs the bases conservatively.
