Scouting Report
Was spectacular with the glove, employing great positioning, fantastic range and a good arm with a quick release. Would make some jaw-dropping defensive plays. Could play all over the infield. Struggled to provide any offense at the big-league level. Lacked patience, discipline, strike-zone judgment and overall pop with the bat. Wasn't much of a base-stealer, either.
Long Range Potential: Great-fielding, versatile infielder.
