Did he play any 2B? 3 innings. Three. Innings.
He played most of the season at 1B.
He turns 37 next season.
OPS+ last season? 93. The year before? 73.
In other words, right in Hendry's wheelhouse.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'll take a .283 batting average and 10 homers from a backup infielder. He wasn't exactly in a hitter-friendly park in San Fran either.
His road numbers: .305/.361/.433/.794
His home numbers: .259/.300/.391/.691
2 years ago in Cincy, he hit .300 with 23 homers and a .867 OPS.
And I bet he can still play some shortstop. His days of having great range are gone, but I think he can still play it.
