I'm still not fully understandig this deal. While injury prone, I think Saunders is a better fit for what they need right now. Plus defence, better OBP and still LH bat. I agree that while a LH bat with power is a nice add, its not exactly great $ spent.

The upside is more long term. Its a replacement for Bautista, no a minor scale, that is potentially cheaper to acquire. If he bounces back, its potentially a steal.
