Scouting Report
Owns plenty of positional versatility (he can play both in the outfield and infield), which adds value to a big-league squad. Can steal bases and hit for average at all levels. Does not have a position to call his own, though he can play everyday at different positions without hurting his overall game. Lacks optimum home-run power. Gets caught stealing a bit too much.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile everyday player.
