Scouting Report:
Large, strong frame. Plays mostly left field, but has spent time at
first base and right field. Limited range, average glove.
Offensively, he hits for power to all fields. Doesn't hit that
well for average. Particularly strong against righties. Struggles
badly against lefties, making him essentially a platoon or pinch hitter
option at the major league level. Slow. Suffers from a
lingering disc injury in his neck.
