That said, man oh man, how attractive must he look to a small market AL team?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think he should be attractive to any AL team, aside from <i>maybe</i> the Yankees, Red Sox, and Angels. With the DH, and his ability to at least stand/squat out at 5 positions and not completely screw up, he hits too much to not be a big contributor on an AL squad.
He's hitting too much to not be the same on our team and needs to be starting 4 or 5 days a week. Really that shouldn't be too difficult considering injury concerns at 4 of 5 the positions he plays, and obviously even if Soriano, Ramirez, and Bradley stay healthy, we're not going to be playing them everyday. I'd like to see him playing 1 of 3 of the games at catcher right now while Soto's out. We're 19-11 when Koyie plays, but he's basically a .150 hitter at the plate right now and his defense has pretty blah of late.
