Very much a Safeco player. Great D in a corner. Topspin contact hitter strong pull side. Mashes righties and inept vs lefties like a younger Choo.

Kind of an usual formula for an elite player as he really should be platooned and I don't think there is much upside left in his bat. But I think hes an excellent fit for our park and team need.

I also don't like his chances of aging well in his 30s given he has no elite tools and think he goes for a lot more than the fangraphs estimate. An opt out could work well for both sides if we were to consider signing him.
