I wouldn't mind him, but he seems like an AL type player. As vance said, he could get time at DH in the AL, whereas in the NL, he'd only be able to play first. Not that I wouldn't mind him for the bench, but I think the Royals plan to stick with him. He's cheap, he's productive, and they probably want him to supplant Mike Sweeney at 1B/DH. With Shealy and Teahan, the Royals would have some good, young, cheap production at the corners.
