Gene Poulsen  
Second Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Poulsen never has been a patient hitter. Poulsen always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever.

Baserunning & Defense
Poulsen isn't a fluid second baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. Poulsen doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.

2014 Outlook
If Poulsen doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors.
