Scouting Report

Assets
  • Pummels fastballs and gets a good handle on off-speed stuff. Is a sure-handed fielder at first base and a solid pinch-hitter.
Flaws
  • Is certainly not the fleetest afoot and he's lacking in the power department. Injuries have also been a problem in his career.
Career Potential
  • A backup first baseman.
