Rube Henry  
First Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Henry 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. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Minor league scouts have accused Henry of being a liability in the field. His arm is accurate enough. Henry isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases.

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