Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a solid doubles swing from both sides of the plate. Is the ultimate team guy and can play all over the infield.
Flaws
  • Not a very patient batter, which leads to his low batting averages. Hasn't quite managed to nail down a regular starting spot for most of his career. Increasingly injury-prone.
Career Potential
  • Platoon infielder.
