Scouting Report
A vocal team leader on and off the field, he was especially gifted with the glove (his defense at second base was at times sensational). Switch-hit and was pretty good in the clutch. Was a good athlete. Offensively, he was a jack-of-all trades type but a master of none. While great with the glove, he sometimes made the easy play look difficult. His decline on offense was sharp and quick.
Long Range Potential: Quality defensive infielder and team leader.
