Johnny Hartranft  
Third Baseman | Cincinnati Reds

Hitting
Hartranft never has been a patient hitter. In past seasons, Hartranft has been a bit of a liability with men on base. Hartranft always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Hartranft isn't a fluid third baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. Hartranft is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.

2010 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Cincinnati Reds were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. AA isn't the right place for Hartranft. Expect the Cincinnati Reds to send him down for some minor retooling.

Johnny Hartranft  
Third Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
In past seasons, Hartranft has been a bit of a liability with men on base. The book on Hartranft is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Hartranft always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Hartranft doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Hartranft you're not putting him in for his glove. Johnny's arm leaves a little to be a desired.

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