Scouting Report
Had good size, home-run power and run-producing acumen as a switch-hitter. Also ran fairly well for a big guy. Could play several different positions. While steady, he was an unspectacular defender and a little too stiff in general. Did not always take advantage of his athleticism when running the bases. Was a better hitter from the left side of the plate, as he struggled somewhat against lefties.
Long Range Potential: Versatile switch-hitting infielder.
