Good signing. Just waiting to hear contract details.

He was right around an average hitter or noticeably better the past four seasons.

2016- .336 wOBA/114 wRC+
2017- .331 wOBA/107 wRC+
2018- .316 wOBA/102 wRC+
2019- .358 wOBA/120 wRC+

His fielding and base running abilities leave something to be desired though.

I think if some of the older guys don't perform they will ride the pine

Dubon at SS and Flores at 2B sounds chill to me.

Dubon might be moving to CF, or so the rumor mill says.

Sounds more like they trying to turn him in to a more versatile utility player than specifically a CF'er.

I just read on Roto the deal is for 2 years and over 6 million with an option for ‘22. Pretty nifty glove in that highlight 👍🏼. Also handy with the steel if you know what I mean. He will be a great asset on those days where the lineup wants to trend into a funk. Good pickup.
