Scouting Report
Was extremely versatile in MLB, as he could catch, play first base and either corner outfield position. Also displayed some decent pop in his bat. Did not really have the overall talent and makeup to play regularly in the bigs. Was extremely inconsistent with the bat, which also limited his at-bats.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, valuable backup catcher.
