Scouting Report

Assets
  • A phenomenal pure hitter, he had a rare combination of batting eye, power, patience and clutch ability. Seemed to see things in slow motion and never lost his cool at the dish.
Flaws
  • Didn't seem to put a lot of effort into anything other than hitting. Was mercurial and high-maintenance. Injury-prone, he also ended his career with a dark cloud due to a performance-enhancing drug issue.
Career Potential
  • Mercurial star slugger.
