Scouting Report: Defensive-minded shortstop with an excellent glove, great range, and a strong arm.  Plus speed with fringe-average contact and below-average power. Sound fundamentals with an advanced approach for his age.  Received largest bonus ever for an amateur position player from Taiwan. Pursued by Yankees in earlier years.
