Scouting Report
Assets
Has proven to be a good run producer and is an excellent defensive first baseman. His discriminating eye at the plate keeps him constantly on base.
Flaws
His pure power leaves something to be desired, especially for a first baseman in the American League. Tends to slow down a bit in the second half.
Career potential
An above-average first baseman.
