Scouting Report
Owns a lot of home-run power and run-producing ability for an infielder, which adds plenty of value to his overall resume. Also draws walks. Is plenty versatile in the field. Injuries are an issue for him. Needs to make the necessary adjustments to North American pitching and surroundings in order to maximize production in the bigs.
Long Range Potential: Talented, versatile infielder, when healthy.
