Scouting Report
Hit for average and scored more runs than most catchers. Could also run better than most backstops. Was savvy and handled pitchers with aplomb. Had virtually no power with the bat. Didn't throw out enough runners trying to steal and committed a few too many errors behind the plate.
Long Range Potential: Solid, mobile catcher and leader of a pitching staff.
