Brooks Conrad Scouting Report?

Can someone summarize the scouting on this guy? Its only been 3-4 games or so, but I agree with Bobby in that I like what I'm seeing from him.

should be a fanpost.

He’s a switch hitter and plays a bunch of positions, and he’s pretty old for a rookie. He’s show good power and moderate speed in the minors but has never been able to get it together in the majors. Hes a little guy, and there are a lot of comps to Dan Uggla. He strikes out to much, but gets a lot of XBH. Thats all I got. I remember gondeee writing about him on this site when we signed him, search for it.

Chat fanshot perfect for this -- that's why it exists.

not 75 words, don’t need a lot of discussion, a link to a summary would work.

Thanks for the gondeee ref though, I’ll dig for it.

From BravesHeart…

Brooks Conrad, 2B: .273/.370/.449. Most of you have probably never heard of Brooks Conrad, with good reason. He was a minor league free agent the Braves signed from Oakland this offseason, and isn’t much of a prospect…he’s a 29 year old career minor leaguer. But he’s putting together quite a nice little season here, leading the Braves in homers. Conrad has greatly improved his plate discipline this year compared to last year, increasing his walk rate and cutting his K rate. His ISO is way down, due to a lack of doubles this season. Conrad could probably do the exact same thing in Atlanta as what Kelly Johnson is doing now, but for less money.
