Scouting Report
Was extremely productive for a second baseman, thanks to great athleticism and on-field intensity. A constant threat to hit a home run or steal a base, that helped him both in scoring a lot of runs and driving them in. Was not a top-notch fielder at second base and was also a little injury-prone, in particular towards the end of his MLB career. Lacked some consistency at the dish, which prevented him from becoming a superstar.
Long Range Potential: Quality second baseman.
