Scouting Report

Assets
  • Much like brother Vlad, he's a well-rounded ball player -- only to a much lesser degree. He's got good speed and versatility. He's very strong in the pinch and has good range no matter where he's playing, whether it's infield or outfield.
Flaws
  • His arm lacks the kind of strength you need in the outfield and he doesn't make the best pivot on double plays while playing infield. At the plate, he tends to slap the ball the other way on the ground, making him easy to defend, and he's hopeless with runners aboard.
Career Potential
  • A career utility guy.
