Scouting Report
Brought excellent home-run power to the plate and was willing to take a walk. Was quite smooth around the first-base bag, thanks to quick feet and above-average hands. Struck out too much and could be an all-or-nothing hitter for stretches, significantly hurting his batting average. Was a little injury-prone over the course of his career.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, power-hitting first baseman.
