Rich Malone  
Third Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
In past seasons, Malone has been a bit of a liability with men on base. The book on Malone is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Malone 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. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. He has no speed at all and runs the bases conservatively.

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