I think I will start a new feature where when atos makes a bewildering move I refer to it as a "Who's in the What now?". It will get it's own label. Eveland and Gregg also would have fit into this.
I'm not really sure what to make of this as I'm not sure what role he's supposed to have. He could be a cut rate lead off guy, some power and less than embarrassing career OBP numbers and supposedly good speed (though not great steal numbers). I think this will become a lot clearer to us when Aaron Hill comes back in about a week. Maybe there's going to be some competition over the next week among the McCoy's, Bautista's and Ruiz's of this team to see who doesn't get bumped by Lewis. Maybe this has something to do with Overbay or Encarnacion? Don't know, but I think things will be clearer, or murkier once Hill comes back.
Anyways, since they didn't give up much for him, as long as they don't lose anything more valuable by acquiring, him no big deal.
What I do know is that "Fred Lewis" rates very low on the awesome baseball name ranking, and if you aren't going to have superstar skills that name isn't going to do too much to help build your cred.
