Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has proven to be a good run producer and is an excellent defensive first baseman. His discriminating eye at the plate keeps him constantly on base.
Flaws
  • His pure power leaves something to be desired, especially for a first baseman in the American League. Tends to slow down a bit in the second half.
Career Potential
  • An above-average first baseman.
