Scouting Report: Superb athlete, plus speed. He's shown an average bat during his long career at the Triple-A level, both in terms of power and contact.  That being said, he's had some extended flashes of excellence on the offensive end. Mediocre plate discipline.  Defensively, he has very good range, but he doesn't get the best jumps.
