In addition to that potent bat, Berry will bring some versatility to the table, as he is a switch-hitter who also saw some time in the outfield corners this year.  Baseball America placed him eighth on their pre-draft rankings, complimenting his plate discipline but adding that his defense is his weakest trait.  Still, they note that his bat should still play even if his defensive shortcomings result in a move to first or designated hitter down the road.
