What type of baseball player would you be?

I just got to thinking, what type of ball player would I be if I were one. I'm just wondering what kind of comparisons people will throw out there. Mine are as follows:

 

Pitching: Probably a closer. Bobby Jenks type? I'm a little on the hefty side at 6'0 and 210. Nowhere near Bobby, however, lol.

 

Position player: 1B/DH/Corner OF power-hitting type. I'll also throw catcher out there as I used to catch (catcher would be really pushing it for me now). I can play above average defense and am a naturally born right-handed hitter but I now hit left-handed sometimes in pickup games and fooling around. Lance Berkman type as a switch-hitter/Justin Morneau type strictly as a right-handed type (yeah, I know he's a lefty).

 

Have fun with this.

Middle infielder or center fielder, good contact ability, limited power (probably would bat 2nd, or 6th), good baserunner, decent stealing technique. Probably a supersub type. Based off what kind of player I actually was when I played.

Pitcher: As a pitcher, I'd more than likely would be a right-handed relief pitcher with a similar wind-up to Matt Thornton but with more arm movement with my left gloved arm. I wouldn't be a finese pitcher or a power pitcher, instead, I'd be the type of pitcher that gets by mostly on guts and guile. Body-wise, I'd prolly look similar in body shape to Eddie Guardado or someone like that, not too fat and not skinny either at 5'9 180 lbs. I also like throwing 2-finger fastballs, forkballs, and sliders a lot. I can also see myself being a relief pitcher for an often-maligned team, like the Kansas City Royals.

 

 

Positional player: I'm a switch-hitter that would prolly be best at playing the infield at either 2nd or 3rd base. I don't have agood throwing arm from the outfield, so that ought to be out of the question. Also, when I hit, I'm always aware of the situation, so I'd be a big situational hitter that wouldn't always be going up there with the mentality of trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark. I'd have no problem laying down a bunt to move batters over. I'd probably be an ideal batter for a team like the Twins.

I'd be a utility player. I can play all over but much better suited on the corners. Defense was my strength and I could not hit much. I was not much of a contact hitter but I walked a lot. I think one year I had around a .200 BA but had an obp over .500.
