Jim Giard  
Third Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Jim Giard to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Giard doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.
