Ya I will never understand that move. Unless Shapiro/Atkins envision that the crop of free agent first basemen coming up is utterly abysmal then maybe I can understand it but surely there are better ways to spend over 8 million dollars for the next two years.
The guy has decent defence at first, is a switch hitter with some pop, but that doesn't really matter if you can't actually hit.
