watching him over the past few seasons it is obvious that just running the bases can cause him injury. He was never a pretty runner, but in multiple games he could be seen darn near limping home. That also makes him a detriment should he just get on base as he's easy pickns' so must be replaced with a pinch runner more often than other DH's limiting game options a club has with him on the roster.

IMO, and as a Giants fan, he made a big impact with the Dodgers Auggie Mar 2022 #2

If he hits like last year, he'll need around 300 ABs & that's hard to get in a limited role The Polack MSgt Mar 2022 #4
