Harry Withrow  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Withrow 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
Withrow has below-average speed and is a poor baserunner. Withrow is a poor defensive catcher. He isn't very mobile or adept at blocking balls in the dirt. Harry's arm leaves a little to be a desired.

2010 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Withrow to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
