Arm:
Plus arm, able to make all the
throws from third base, including deep against the foul line.
Showed an average arm in 2019.
Career Notes:
Two-time All-Star and former
Brewers MVP. After opening the 2020 season on the Boston roster,
was designated for assignment after less than one week and spent
most of the season playing at the Alternate Training Site after
clearing waivers. Received praise for his willingness to work
with younger players at the ATS. Was released in September so
that he could sign with the Phillies for their playoff push.
Summation:
Now probably best suited for a
backup or platoon role. Very good clubhouse presence.
