Scouting Report
Speed and defensive ability made him a shortstop pitchers loved to have behind them. Was an exceptional athlete. Displayed occasional pop in his bat. Impatience at the plate led him to strike out way too often in MLB. Age robbed him of some of his base-stealing quickness later on in his career.
Long Range Potential: Supremely athletic, defensively-gifted shortstop.
