Scouting Report

Assets
  • Calls a magnificent game. He's strong and can crush the ball to any part of the park. His throwing arm has been an asset in the past, but it's waning a bit.
Flaws
  • Lieberthal will still go into slumps at the plate where he tries to pull everything, becoming easy prey for the high fastball. His power has dropped with age.
Career Potential
  • Former all-star, now a good backup catcher.
