Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's one of the top fielding third basemen in the game, thanks to his good hands and sharp reflexes on ground balls. He's generally a solid slap hitter, however he's opened up his swing in recent years and managed to poke a few out of the park.
Flaws
  • He lacks the kind of power you like to see from the infield corners and he's far from a threat on the bases.
Career Potential
  • Injuries forced him into retirement after a solid career.
