Scouting Report
Has very good power and will drive runs in regularly. Also displays an outstanding throwing arm in the field. With more power has come more patience at the dish, too. Can play both the outfield and third base in MLB. Nagging injuries over time have diminished his overall form, and he is now a player in decline. Also, he lacks a bit of consistency in terms of hitting for average. He is a better defender in the outfield than at the hot corner. Has started pitching late in his career to add even more versatility (and value) for MLB clubs.
Long Range Potential: Extremely versatile, veteran power hitter and run producer in decline.
