Hitting
The book on Mahoney is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Mahoney always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Mahoney when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Minor league scouts have accused Mahoney of being a liability in the field. Runners take advantage of his weak arm. He has no speed at all and runs the bases conservatively.

2010 Outlook
What The Retired or Inactive Players was thinking when they signed Mahoney to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
