Scouting Report

Assets
  • A good run-producer, he brought a solid bat and above-average plate coverage to the dish. Was fairly mobile and could play a number of positions in the field.
Flaws
  • Was good at pretty much everything but not great at anything. Could be a little too streaky at times. Didn't draw enough bases on balls, which hurt his offense.
Career Potential
  • Versatile infielder.
  • AwardsNamed to the All-Star GameAL - Silver SluggerNamed to the All-Star Game
