I thought he was a lock for a gold glove until he was traded. But he seemed to be just an average hitter, line drives mostly, and poor speed on the bases.

He was the Angel’s 1st baseman mostly because Kendry Morales was slow to step up and then we got Texeira for half a season. I always thought he was more than adequate defensively, just didn’t hit well enough to be comfortable with him at a power position like 1B.
