Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is one of the most dazzling defensive shortstops of all time. At the plate, he's a very disciplined hitter, great bunter and sneaky base-runner.
Flaws
  • Over time, the veteran switch-hitter has struggled against left-handed pitching. Is no longer capable of maintaining his standard of excellence.
Career Potential
  • A great defensive shorstop.
