Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has one of the best batting eyes in the league and the patience to lay off pitches he knows he can't hit. He's a devoted student of the art of hitting.
Flaws
  • He sacrifices a lot of power against southpaws, and his home-run totals have shrunk a lot over the years. Back issues have plagued him for a while.
Career Potential
  • Still a solid everyday first baseman.
