Scouting Report

Assets
  • In his prime, his long, swift legs, allowed him to glide around the bases and cover more ground in center than a Disney amusement park. And best of all, there are few guys you'd rather have at the plate in the clutch than Bernie Williams.
Flaws
  • Age and injury have made him a weaker defender and base-runner. Defensively, his main problems are a weak arm and a tendency to make his initial break in the wrong direction.
Career Potential
  • Former all-star is now a good platoon outfielder/DH.
