Scouting Report

Assets
  • An accomplished power hitter with pretty good plate discipline, he's a fairly consistent run producer. Moves well for a big man. Displays excellent glovework and focus at first base.
Flaws
  • While his plate discipline is good and he draws walks, he also strikes out a bit too much. His base-stealing speed has disappeared off with age.
Career Potential
  • Productive veteran first baseman.
