Comments:
Slick defender doesn't bring bat. Undersized build, a bit scrawny. Don't know if he'll ever fill
out, mature face. Slow gate @ plate. WBA BS. Upright with bat on shoulder. Simple swing.
Ball comes off very soft. Doesn't center ball well. Doesn't recognize offspd well out of hand.
Occ. runs into ball but can't project a lot with the power from a career .318 slugger. Strikes out
too much for little power he offers. Not an offensive player. Runs better under way and shows
better first step on defense. Fringy arm is helped by quick release. Stays behind ball and flashes
true SS actions. Moves laterally well and has body control to make tough plays. Didn't play
exceptionally well for me but track record and actions are there. Could obviously play across
INF but value is maximized by him playing premium position. Goes and gets balls deep in hole
and behind 2B. Should be able to help @ org level despite offensive ineptness, legit glove. Is
prob. headed back to Cal League next yr but I don't see him ever putting it together with bat.
Might as well push him as high as glove takes him.
