Yeah, it'll help his numbers.

But for the Giants, nobody they sign is going to have to face the DH (obviously) so that's not a 'boost' for him. He's not going to get any better a boost by getting to face the pitcher than anyone would have so you don't give him a premium for that.

When you look at what the Giants and D-Backs offered him, it's pretty clear that the market viewed his time with KC as more of a blip on his radar. That or they saw that performance in the clincher as more indicative of what they could get from him than his struggles in September.

It's not a chance I'd have wanted to take, to be honest.
