Brook Fordyce  
Catcher | Houston Astros

Hitting
Let's face facts: Fordyce hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
When you play Fordyce you're not putting him in for his glove. Brook's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Fordyce isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases.
