It's hard to predict, so the potential range of outcomes is high. It's a high risk high reward sort of situation.
Basically the opposite of IKF, imo. With him, I think the risk of him being much worse than expected is very low, but he's not suddenly becoming prime Derek Jeter either. He is what he is, so we're losing a few WAR at 3B we need to make up elsewhere.

I think you can include Kikuchi as a lottery ball seeing how he pitched two seasons ago and how his spring went.
