Comments:
Avg running MIF. Can play OF as well. With the exception of running speed all his tools grade
out below avg or worse. Wrong offensive approach. Tries to lift and pull balls when he simply
doesn't have the strength or batspd to do it. Lots of skied INF pop ups. Doesn't see enuf pitches.
Contact is soft. No pop. Playable defensively, below avg but accurate arm. Doesn't have the feet
to play SS. Apparently he will retire after the 04 season. He would have a hard time finding a job
in affiliated ball @ his age.
