Scouting Report

Assets
  • That arm is a howitzer, even after shoulder surgery in 1999. He has excellent range at short, turning graceful double plays. He's a good base-runner with some wheels and decent power to left.
Flaws
  • His on-base percentage is so low he's unable to take advantage of his speed. Swings far too freely. He's especially susceptible to pitches way off the outside edge of the plate.
Career Potential
  • Second half of his career may be spent as a utility infielder.
