James Beard   Catcher | Free Agents Hitting In past seasons, Beard has been a bit of a liability with men on base. This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. Beard 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 Beard is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. When you play Beard you're not putting him in for his glove. He has a strong, accurate arm. 2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Beard to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.           -- Moostard Nyman
