He had two very good ABs against lefties in the last two innings. Anyway I think he brings some things this lineup lacks. Mainly that he bats left, he has good speed on the bases. He has pretty good contact skills and he can play all three OF positions. (But not really that good at CF Zimmer is better there.) Zimmer is definitely a better defensive OF but his bat brings us more of something we already have too much of that being high K rate and low on base percentage. If Zimmer doesn’t get a bit more contact he’s going to have trouble getting playing time over Tapia.
