Scouting Report

Assets
  • A consistent line-drive hitter most of his career, he lays off high heat, uses the entire field to his advantage and isn't above taking a walk.
Flaws
  • Is only an average fielder, partly because his speed and arm strength have diminished with age. His loss of a step has also impaired his base-running.
Career Potential
  • Now a quality fourth outfielder.
