Kirkland Smolder  
Left Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Smolder when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. You can expect Kirkland Smolder to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Smolder isn't a fluid left fielder, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. Smolder isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.
