He's not GREAT, by any means...but he's probabiy about as useful as the much ballyhoued J.J. Hardy in terms of overall value (remember how much the blogosphere wanted us to give up to get Hardy?)
He plays a roughly average SS, I'm told, and he's got enough of an eye and enough contact skill that I have to believe he could at least manage a .280/.330/.400 kind of line in the bigs. He reminds me a little of Akinori Iwamura except we'd be getting one extra peak season (he's coming over at 27, not 28).
