To check out his 2010 scouting report before he got hurt and was slated to be the starting 1B, click
here.
The Good: Short, balanced swing. Selective approach, and lets the ball travel deep in the zone and takes it the other way. Projects to a 15 HR hitter with more experience/full time job. Known as a work-aholic. Hit .282/.313/.485 in the 2nd half of the 2009 (he only played in 11 minor league games in 2010).

The Bad: Is inexperienced trying to play 2nd base, and might not be athletic enough to be a full-starter at 2B. Doesn't walk very often (only had a .313 on base % in 2009).
Role: Pinch hitter/platoon at 2B if he can improve his defense.
My projections: 250 plate appearances, 7 HRs, 30 rbis, .285/.330/.450
