Scouting Report

Assets
  • Phenomenal hustle for a man built like a big, wide rock -- for a man built like anything for that matter. A smart, intense base-runner with power. His arm is monstrous and he has good range in right.
Flaws
  • He's a bit of a free spirit and has a reputation for rubbing teammates and club brass the wrong way. His batting average has dropped quite a bit in the last few years and he tends to flail away at the outside breaking ball.
Career Potential
  • Once an all-star, looks like he's done.
