Scouting Report
Had extreme power that could change a game with one swing of the bat, particularly in the minors. Played all four corner positions in the big leagues. Like many big-swinging power hitters he had trouble making consistent contact, striking out too much and not walking enough. Defensively, he was below average.
Long Range Potential: Slugger with power, but also too big of a swing.
