Bill Klinger  
First Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Let's face facts: Klinger hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Klinger when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. His speed is below average and he's not a threat to steal.
