Scouting Report

AssetsIs a pretty good hitter with decent power and speed. Also walks a fair amount. Can come off the bench and be productive. Is also versatile enough to play several different positions on the field.
FlawsDoesn't really have a position to call his own defensively, which hurts his chances of playing every day. Also, his power doesn't really stand out, nor does his base-running ability.
Career potentialUtility man and solid bat off the bench.
