How does he not fill a need? Whose the other power hitting Lefty with a great on base percentage in our lineup? Biggio? Sometimes the exact need for your team is not available. Realistically we are probably starting the season with Espinal at Third and Biggio at Second. So you go out and get a bat that can help you. He fits beautifully. He can be rotated at 1B, LF, and DH. Making sure Springer and Vlad get DH at-bats. The only real issue is Grichuk. And who cares about Grichuk.
