Giff Knappert
Right Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players
Hitting
In past seasons, Knappert has been a bit of a liability with men on base. The book on Knappert is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Let's face facts: Knappert 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. 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
Knappert plays mostly right field, where his mediocre range and throwing arm are less than ideal. He'd be better off in left. Knappert isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases.
