Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is still a capable run producer who is a rare mix of power and patience at the plate. Is also more than just a masher: he waits for his pitch, can blast it out to all fields and is clutch. Adds high-character leadership, too.
Flaws
  • Like most legendary sluggers, he whiffs a lot. Also, he is no longer capable of playing any positions in the field, due to advanced age and injuries.
Career Potential
  • Power-hitting veteran DH or home-run threat off the bench.
