Scouting Report
Was very good defensively, with both range and a strong arm. Had legitimate home-run pop in his bat and could be a solid RBI producer. Developed more consistency (both offensively and defensively) with age. Was highly injury-prone. Swung for the fences too much, which led to streakiness and high strikeout totals. Didn't have much patience at the plate, so his walk/strikeout ratio was usually ugly. Struggled with overuse.
Long Range Potential: Solid infielder with some home-run pop.
