Scouting Report: Strong, thick frame. No projection, below-average athlete. Swing is long and loopy. Slider bat speed, struggles with plus velocity and secondary pitches. Boom or bust, strikes out a lot. Plus power when he makes contact. Well below-average speed, not part of his game. Can capably play both corner infield positions. Above-average arm strength. Was a well-regarded third baseman coming out of UConn in 2010, drafted in the supplemental first round, and was a top 100 type prospect through the spring of 2013. Failed to adjust to advanced pitching. Has not excelled offensively during a handful of major league opportunities. Organizational profile now.
