Hitting
Hogthrob always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. He uses the entire field and has gap power.

Baserunning & Defense
He has the tools to play all three outfield positions. His arm is accurate enough. Hogthrob doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.

2010 Outlook
The Montreal Expos signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Hogthrob like a hot potato if something better comes along.
