Howie Herring  
Second Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
One of Herring's strongest assets is his performance with men in scoring position. Howie Herringis Mr. Clutch. Herring never has been a patient hitter. Herring always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Herring when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Herring is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. When you play Herring you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.
