Scouting Report
Blessed with a nice line-drive swing, he piled up doubles and hit for a good average. Also hit with some power and did not strike out too much, either. Ran pretty well and played several positions in the field. Was only average with the glove, no matter where he played on the field. Also had a tendency to be a bit too streaky at the dish. Early on in his MLB career, he at times let errors bother him for an extended period. However, that went away with more experience.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile infielder and left-handed hitter.
