Scouting Report

Assets
  • Kinsler swings hard, generating good power by crushing the ball to the gaps. He runs well and can drive in base-runners.
Flaws
  • He's not a dynamic fielder by any stretch and still lacks the durability to thrive over the course of a 162-game campaign.
Career Potential
  • An above-average offensive second baseman.
