His peripherals have improved, and he just had his first-ever above-average year at the plate, but his glove is good-to-great and he's coming off a career year at 32 years of age.

Moving to 3B makes it a little harder to produce value the way he traditionally has (with his glove, while being a passable bat from the MIF), but at ~$13mil/year it's hard not to like the deal even if all it does is provide them with a ~league average player roving the IF as a utility guy.

Good signing.  And yeah, that lineup looks a lot less pathetic.
