Interesting, doesn't seem like a bad move at all, very affordable even if there is some regression ahead.

He is a guy that I never thought would amount to much after watching him come up with the Reds years ago. Glad he's figured things out and found his niche playing 1B/DH. Dude was a disaster at 3B.
