Scouting Report

Assets
  • As a contact-hitter, Finley uses the gaps to place his line-drives. His power makes it tough for pitchers to throw around him. He can still play the field with good range, and gets a good jump on the ball when on base.
Flaws
  • He is a streaky hitter, able to do damage, but brings the team down when deep in a slump. Age appears to be slowing down his overall game.
Career Potential
  • Former all-star running out of steam.
