Scouting Report
A singles machine, he got on base a lot, could steal a base and rarely struck out. Consistent, he displayed good fundamentals and a solid glove at second base. Injuries and age robbed him of some of his speed and some of his defensive mobility in the end. Was never much of a power threat, not even for doubles.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, switch-hitting and table-setting second baseman.
