Scouting Report
Was a tremendous defensive outfielder, equipped with the speed and range to play center field (plus a very accurate throwing arm). Also owned a fair bit of pop in his left-handed bat at the minor-league level. His speed did not translate to a lot of stolen bases on offense, which minimized his value as an everyday player. Also, he had a tendency to strike out far too much for his level of home-run power.
Long Range Potential: Depth outfielder.
