Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has great size and the ability to crush the ball from both sides of the plate. He has strong enough legs to play center, and a terrific arm, owing to his days as Stanford quarterback.
Flaws
  • He could boost his average if he cuts down his prodigious strikeout totals, though it might sacrifice some power. He's had big trouble living up to expectations.
Career Potential
  • All-star potential seems to have disappeared; barely a big-league fourth outfielder.
