He play excellent defense at one of the most important positions.

If by dropping every ball within 2 feet of the ivy, then yeah, I guess he did play "good defense".

He's sort of a spazz out there, he doesn't look comfortable at all. Not in CF. And definitely not at home plate. He's "a leadoff hitter who can go yard!"

Yay.

Too bad nobody needs/wants a leadoff hitter who can go yard, and strike out 180 times a year.

He's like Rickey Henderson, minus the speed, defense, power, average, and attitude, but with more strikeouts.
