Scouting Report: Formerly a terrific slugger when healthy, able to hit for power against both left and right-handed pitching. Has struggled mightily with injuries over his career, but tended to be productive when able to play. Production dropped off during his age-31 season in 2014, and he's yet to play in the majors since. Was a poor defender even during his peak. Likely a strict-DH now, who may play left field on occasion. Non-factor on the bases.
