Scouting Report

Assets	Versatility is his greatest asset. Also has good speed and some table-setting appeal. He's also capable of playing good defense at a number of positions.
Flaws	Strikes out too much for a hitter with modest power potential. Needs more work on his concentration when in the field, since he commits too many errors. Also lacks consistency.
Career potential	Backup utility player.
