Saunders is a guy who seemed to struggle early on in his career. Lot's of physical tools, but was not really putting it together. He was still a +1.9 WAR guy last year despite playing only 79 games. Last year he slashed a very respectable 273/341/450 which isn't too far off of what Melky Cabrera posted. I think he's definitely an upgrade defensively, and given the chance to hit in a better lineup could produce offensively.
