Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a great run producer. Hits righties and lefties equally well. Can both pull the ball for power or drive the ball the other way.
Flaws
  • Is always prone to mid-season slumps, especially now at an advanced age. Has definitely lost a step or two in the range department at second base.
Career Potential
  • Still a top offensive second baseman.
