Dick Kime  
Third Baseman | Philadelphia Phillies

Hitting
Kime has quick hands and is able to cover the entire plate. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. He rarely pulls pitches, preferring to shoot line drives to right-center. It's hard to explain but Dick Kime plays much better on the road then he does at home. It's unfortunate too, with Kime signing a hefty contract. You gotta imagine management wants a little better relationship between him and the fans.

Baserunning & Defense
Kime doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Kime you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is a weapon that ranks in the top five in the league.

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