Has developed an excellent power bat (especially from the left side) and shows the ability to be a regular RBI producer. He is also an excellent runner on the basepaths. His defense is solid at a number of positions. Strikes out a bit too much, especially vis-a-vis his walks totals. Still makes his share of errors, especially at shortstop. Was somewhat injury-prone in his earlier days, but he seems to have gotten healthier with time. | |
Long Range Potential: | Solid, switch-hitting veteran infielder. |
