Scouting Report
Hits for a solid batting average in the minor leagues and owns good pitch recognition (he walks a fair amount, while not striking out a ton). Is a limited offensive player due to a lack of home-run power and a lack of base-stealing prowess, so he is best suited to a bench role in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Backup infielder.
