Don Griffin  
Second Baseman | Cincinnati Reds

Hitting
He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him.

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. Griffin isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2010 Outlook
The Cincinnati Reds signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Griffin like a hot potato if something better comes along.
