Scouting Report
Was a natural run producer. Had power and a very good batting eye. Over the years, he learned to take a walk and showed clutch ability when driving runners in. Was also a born leader. Was not a gold-glove caliber first baseman by any stretch. Like most first sackers, he lacked mobility and was slow around the bases. Also, he showed steady decline late in his career.
Long Range Potential: Quality run producer, power hitter and leader.
