I quite like Hathaway, but he never brought the impact that Boyle did in his prime. Boyle is not only a much higher and more frequent hitter than Hathaway, he's also a large pest.
That being said. Boyle is getting on in his age. I wouldn't be overly excited about the pickup. However I do see why it's different than signing Hathaway for four years.
