Was the whole package at shortstop: a fantastic glove with range, a great arm plus a power bat with the stroke to hit for a high average, excellent patience and the ability to steal a bag. His game started to decline rapidly due to injury, and he was never fully able to recover. In fact, his career ended abruptly due to injury. Had a tendency to start seasons slowly, which made him too streaky sometimes. Struck out too much. | |
Long Range Potential: | Quality shortstop, when healthy. |
