Scouting Report
A great athlete with excellent size and mobility, he hit the ball with huge power. Had the instincts and talent to be a star in all aspects of the game. Struck out too much and forced things too much at the plate sometimes. Also, he was not much of a base stealer. Worked hard to become a solid defensive right-fielder in Major League Baseball, but was also a good glove man at first base. His versatility was valuable at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile left-handed power hitter.
