Chick McGuire  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on McGuire is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever.

Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. McGuire isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2010 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Free Agents were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best.
