He proved that he could hit at every level so the Dodgers challenged him and brought him up to a higher level of the Minors and every time he still smoked the ball. Last year at AAA he had a .955 OPS, that's what Mark Teixeira had!!! So the Dodgers brought him up to the bigs. Right now he's sitting on the Dodgers bench as their 5th outfielder and can also play 2nd and a little 3rd base. He's very versatile and athletic and knows how to play the game right. He's a switch hitter a little undersized at 5"10 but can really rake and hasn't been given a real chance to succeed at the MLB level with only 44 ab's. His only flaws are not being the greatest defender al bight being solid and he has to develop more plate discipline because he draws very few walks.
He's a major league hitter and despite being small has tremendous power. Might be a better fit at 2nd base or centerfield for the long run. This guy needs a change of scenery desperately and the team that picks this guy up will be extremely lucky with what they've found.
Possible Suiters:
Rays(RF), Yankees(1B), Orioles(DH), Royals, Twins(2B), Mariners(DH), Braves(they just love stockpiling young cheap talent), Nationals(solid fit team wise), Cardinals(2B), Cubs(IF), Reds(Future OF), Giants and Padres(LF,CF). Quite frankly, any MLB team could use him. Everyone could use a superb bat on their team. He would be a cheap terrific pickup for anyone.
