But knowing the Royals, they'd make the same mistake Toronto did, and try to make him a heart-of-the-order power hitter, which he isn't. But the Sox don't need him to be that kind of player, which is why I agree that this is a good move for them, albeit risky given his performance this year.

We'll see if it pays off like you think it will. An interesting & expensive move for sure. We’ll see if it pays off like you think it will.
