Jonathan Tucker, utility player
Who is he?
Jonathan Tucker is a small (5’8″) second baseman-outfielder. From the fact that he’s a second baseman-outfielder, you could conclude that (1) he’s not much of a second baseman and (2) he probably doesn’t have the range or arm for shortstop or third base; hence he doesn’t have a future as a utility infielder. From his batting statistics (.226/.314/.306 at Norfolk, .264/.349/.356 career), you could conclude that he’s not going to hit enough to make it as an outfielder. From his age (26), you could conclude that he’s not going to get much better. From all of that, you could conclude that his chances of having a major league career are only slightly better than the chances of Ke$ha having a hit single with Nights in White Satin.
