Scouting Report

Assets
  • It's always good to have an experienced catcher who knows the game and Stinnett is just that. He can embark on impressive power streaks and hits better with runners in scoring position than in most other situations.
Flaws
  • Stinnett is simply a very inconsistent hitter. He's quite inept against righties and clogs up the bases with his heavy legs.
Career Potential
  • Once a strong backup catcher, he's starting to fade.
