Scouting Report

Assets
  • Routinely makes dazzling plays at short. Off-balance throws and diving catches are becoming the norm for him. While his offensive shortcomings are well known, Ordonez is a good bunter.
Flaws
  • Has very little patience at the plate and his bat provides very little pop. His on-base and slugging percentages are always low. If it weren't for his defensive ability, Ordonez would not be in the majors.
Career Potential
  • His days as a regular are behind him. He's a backup shortstop.
