Another thing to look at will be lineup protection hitting in the middle of the order with men on base they will have to pitch around him, if the coaches can get the guy to work some walks its a solid signing. If he can figure out how to work walks from being pitched around his average should rise considerably when pitchers start to throw over the plate to avoid the walks ala Ortizing.

Think it was Matt Collins on OTM who also jumped on this–love the flexibility and think he’s lower risk than Beltran (at 2 yrs)…
