Showed a steady glove at second base in his first year with
the Tiger program.
LEGGETT COMMENTS "David is a very steady second baseman.
He has a chance to provide some offensive punch for us. He
understands how to play the game, and has very good instincts and
savvy. Defensively, he came from junior college and was an excellent
player at that level. We think he will be an excellent player for us
this year as a senior and provide some stability in the infield. He
will probably get a lot of action at second base for us this year."
