Scouting Report

Assets
  • Walker has a great, quick swing that produces more power than you'd expect for his size, especially into the gaps for doubles. He's no Ichiro but he's a smart base-runner who knows when to steal and when to take the extra base.
Flaws
  • His numbers against lefties are getting much better but it's been a problem in the past. He has a tendency to lapse into slumps.
Career Potential
  • And undervalued slugging second baseman.
