Good power and good OBP skills... he'd actually be a very good fit offensively for KC. You could slide him into the 6 spot and get very similar offensive production while Gordon is out.
Might be a smaller price than trading for Cueto, too, though it's hard to say (you're buying 1.5 pretty reasonable years plus a team option for a second full year).

Any concerns about how much of Bruce's power will translate to the K? Career home/road SLG split of .510/.425.
