Scouting Report
Had elite power. Managed to hit for consistently good averages despite taking a huge cut on every swing. Knew the value of taking a walk and was a clutch run producer. Worked hard to improve his defense in MLB. Struck out too much, which often led to prolonged hitting funks. Did not possess a top-tier glove at first base. Was slow and not an asset on base. Always had to keep his weight in check. Neck issues ended his career.
Long Range Potential: Huge, excellent slugger and run producer.
