Kash Beauchamp on Chris: Chris is a very good all around player. He is a good defensive outfielder who knows how to handle the bat. He does everything well. He can steal bases and can hit anywhere in the lineup. He has the ability to be an excellent leader, which is what you need from your more experienced players.
