Scouting Report
A driven player with nice defensive skills: can play all over the infield and outfield. Drives the ball the other way, with occasional power. Has quick feet in the field. Makes solid contact and does not strike out a lot. Is not always able to catch up to inside fastballs, so he generally does not provide a lot of home-run power. Lacks consistency on offense and can run too hot and cold sometimes with the stick. Is wearing down.
Long Range Potential: Veteran infielder in decline.
