Scouting Report
: Center fielder with a good arm and a great glove. Average bat, speed, and on-base ability. Has shown flashes of above-average power, but not consistently throughout his career.  Hits to all fields.  Streaky at the plate, but generally has a good hitting approach.  Provides outfield depth with some options, Van Every will likely be insurance for Boston while roaming the outfield in McCoy.  Able to play center and left, but hasn't spent a lot of time in right field.
