Scouting Report:
Bailey mainly plays 1B and corner outfield these days after previously spending a
lot of time as a catcher. He is adequate defensively, with below average
range, a decent glove, and a good arm. With the bat, he has outstanding power
and strength. Good contact and plate patience. Slow on the basepaths, but runs
intelligently - about what you'd expect from a converted catcher.
Strikes out a little too much, but that has improved over the years.
Has shown struggles against advanced breaking stuff. Has the potential to be a versatile backup and off-the-bench bat at the major
league level. Probably
could start for some small market teams. Bailey has been a team
leader and model teammate with the Red Sox organization for six seasons.
