That K/W rate is atrocious.

It is... but the 980 OPS is amazeballs. He's not going to slug 667 over a full season but he has an excellent batted ball profile (hits more line drives & flyballs then groundballs and pop-ups). IMO a corner outfield spot is his to lose barring a big to midsized free agent acquisition. Alford/Pillar/Hernandez isn't a bad prediction to start next season (with Pearce getting his AB by allowing those guys + Smoak/Morales to have a day off).
Jays really need to get a MIF who can get hit better then Barney/Goins... Tulo and Travis aren't healthy enough to justify a glove only back-up... that and better depth in the Rotation.
