With Thornhill alongside him he’ll be free to play where needed. And he’s a very willing and effective hitter.
Its about 15% higher than I thought he’d get but the market is hotter than I figured it would be as well.
This is a REALLY nice player with potential that was being squandered in Houston. We just upgraded the position at a very reasonable price point. And the floor is what he did last season which was still solid.
This is a very good low risk signing with a hell of a lot of room for surplus value in the contract. Excellent work by Veach here.
It’s an excellent signing.

Yeah, when you look at some of the safeties that agreed to terms yesterday and how much they got, this seems VERY affordable.
Mathieu is going to get a lot more than 3 for 30. Tracy Walker got 3 for 25. Diggs got 3 for 40.
