Scouting Report
A threat to crush the ball over the fence to all fields with every at-bat, he was an excellent run producer who could carry his club for long stretches. Would also take his share of walks. Regularly challenged records for strikeouts. Injuries started his decline early. Could be too streaky at the plate. Was not a good fielder at first base and made too many errors.
Long Range Potential: Mammoth home-run slugger and run producer.
