Overbay is a very decent player, but his defense at 1B is attroicous. He has to DH (with Hillenbrand playing the field instead).

Numbers are there, 53 doubles 2 years ago is a very impressive stat. However, he was extremely hot to begin this season, but fell off (I remember him having a massive +.450 OBP early in the season ~ 40 games in.
I'm not sure what caused that drop off though.
