Grant Whiting  
Catcher | New York Mets

Hitting
Whiting never has been a patient hitter. Whiting always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Whiting's speed is now average at best and he steals only infrequently.

2010 Outlook
I can't say I know what The New York Mets were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. Whiting has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the New York Mets will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
