Scouting Report
Was a sound defender and fairly productive hitter when on top of his game. Loved to face southpaws. His cannon for an arm was a big weapon on defense. He was prone to slumps, especially in the power department and especially later on in his big-league career. Didn't hit right-handers with consistency.
Long Range Potential: Decent but somewhat underachieving outfielder.
