Scouting Report
Was highly versatile afield (and was able to play both in the infield and the outfield). When at bat he made consistent contact and was patient at the dish. Could come off the bench to deliver key hits. Did not have great power as a batter and would run hot and cold at the plate. Struggled while hitting right-handed in the bigs, so he mostly abandoned switch-hitting. Lacked a defensive position to call his own.
Long Range Potential: Solid utility man.
