Scouting Report
Had both good power and decent speed. Also drew a fair number of walks due to good plate discipline and patience. Was a sound defender in an outfield corner and could play first base, as well. Was better suited for the middle of a batting order but lacked consistency, especially against left-handed pitching. Injuries were a factor for him.
Long Range Potential: Quality outfielder.
