Ender Wiggin  
Shortstop | Pittsburgh Pirates

Hitting
Wiggin is an excellent mistake hitter who belts middle-of-the-plate fastballs or hanging breaking balls. In past seasons, Wiggin has been a bit of a liability with men on base. Wiggin always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. A spray hitter in the classic sense, Ender puts the ball all over the park.

Baserunning & Defense
Wiggin isn't a fluid shortstop, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. Wiggin is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.

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