He's still a D'back, but he has a mutual option worth 7.5M and the D'backs could decline it. They were scouting Paulie as the season cam to an end. They have been shopping him over all of last year and if the D'backs did pick up the MO, he won't cost that much. Maybe Baker and Berg, Atkins, Wells, etc.
He's a left haned bat, plays 1st, won't cost too much in money if they signed him or traded for him, plays OK defense and has power. But, he does not hit for a good average and K's a lot and does not walk much.
He will come cheaper than Dunn, will hit more hr at Wrigley and would be a good 3-5 hitter in the lineup. This move also would allow the Cubs to sign more in FA, than for example a Dunn signing.
He hit 25 hr (in Arz) and hit 100rbi for a bad arz team. I thimk thise stats will go up. Also, he's only 31. Not too old.
Adam LaRoche.
Thoughts? I'm just bored so I decided to throw an idea. I don't think this would be the worse decision for next season, I think he will be better than nady.
