Lambin's minor league career was unremarkable heading into 2005, when he established personal bests in most offensive categories. He dominated the Eastern League after batting an uninspiring .244 there in 2004, and continued to hit in Triple-A. Like Andy Wilson, he was old for his leagues, turning 26 at midseason. A switch-hitter, he employs a gap-to-gap approach and has home run power from both sides of the plate. He still has some trouble with pitch recognition but can drive his pitch when he gets it. Defensively, he has a strong arm and not much else. Lambin played third base, shortstop, second base and left field last season, but none of them particularly well. He also has tried catcher, but his hands hampered his receiving ability and also hurt him as an infielder. He's probably best suited for the outfield and has a solid arm. Lambin profiles as a utilityman who stands out for his bat, rather than his glove or versatility. He'll head to Triple-A and wait for an injury to create an opening for him in New York.
