Chris Spurney  
First Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Spurney is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Chris Spurney to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Minor league scouts have accused Spurney of being a liability in the field. Chris's arm leaves a little to be a desired. He has no speed at all and runs the bases conservatively.

2010 Outlook
What The Retired or Inactive Players was thinking when they signed Spurney to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
