Couldn't find direct evidence, but I think I cited their high HR/FB%, not to mention that they regularly faced some of the best offenses in the game in New York, Boston, Toronto, and Tampa.  He's always had problems with errors, and especially throwing errors, but they had come down significantly in the previous 2 years.  I'm not saying he's going to be good, just good enough to be bad as opposed to the value killing travesty he appeared to be last year.  I would peg him for a -7 to -12 defensively over a full season, which could be mitigated by healthy stays at DH, 1st, Left Field, or even the bench more often as he has Adrian Beltre's Disease (a seeming attraction to small injuries that significantly impact production that the player insists on playing through) that would likely make him a hit with Wedge considering how unhappy he was with Brendan Ryan finishing the season on the DL.
