Scouting Report

Assets	Is amazingly patient at the plate, and simply refuses to swing at anything other than what he's looking for. Displays great power when he does take a cut.
Flaws	Is a sub-par outfielder and better suited to the American League. Perhaps more contact could lower his gargantuan strikeout totals and improve his batting average.
Career potential	Slugger with great patience, but also holes in his swing.
