John Washington  
First Baseman | Cleveland Lions

Hitting
Don't be surprised if The Cleveland Lions's manager sits Washington when you throw your ace lefty. For some reason, he just can't figure out the southpaw. He rarely pulls pitches, preferring to shoot line drives to left-center.

Baserunning & Defense
Washington doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Washington you're not putting him in for his glove. John's arm leaves a little to be a desired.

2010 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Cleveland Lions were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. Washington has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Cleveland Lions will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.

John Washington  
First Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
Washington never has been a patient hitter. Don't be surprised if The Free Agents's manager sits Washington when you throw your ace lefty. For some reason, he just can't figure out the southpaw. You can expect John Washington to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Washington doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often. Minor league scouts have accused Washington of being a liability in the field. John's arm leaves a little to be a desired.

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