He’s built like Bengie Molina though, so be careful what you wish for. Still, he’s very good for the A’s in limited use.

Currently at .658 OPS with a career of .671.

Has a good career record but can’t ever stay healthy.

Ok, even less than replacement level would be great. Average defense, and an OPS of .550? That would be a huge improvement.

With the bigger ballpark, his ERA will likely shrink, and his injury history will fit in well with the A’s. Also, there seems to be a couple of vacancies in the rotation just now, and a surplus of bullpen, which MN needs.

He’s likely better than Aceves if Lackey and Matsuzaka are out for a while.
