Scouting Report

Assets
  • Makes consistent contact and has great bat control. Can get red-hot and carry a ball club for a stretch. Is a pretty solid run producer.
Flaws
  • Injuries have hurt his base-running and defensive work, which was never great to begin with, not to mention his offensive numbers.
Career Potential
  • Still a solid bat when healthy.
