Scouting Report
Excelled at setting the table and scored lots of runs in MLB. Had good gap power and the ability to stretch doubles into triples. Could cover a lot of ground in center field but also played the corner positions well. Lacked home-run power in Major League Baseball, so he was reduced to leading off or hitting towards the bottom of the order. Was also somewhat prone to getting injured, especially with his legs.
Long Range Potential: Solid, table-setting outfielder (when healthy).
