Yes he does.

That's him....everything is slow.....even when he actually gets to a ball.He does turn the dp well and has an above average arm...but his range and quickness just aren't there. Sometimes he'll go left and get there,but he can't bend down far enough to get the ball! NOT KIDDING!


My bet is he won't be here next year. Shapiro himself said he's seen him play 3rd in the minors.....it wasn' pretty.
