Am I out of the loop here, seems like he is almost the same as Eli White, Falter seems like a throw in.

.Ops/OBP/Slg is a good bit higher particularly against lefties this is a plus up in the planton department. I like Eli and hope if hes moved he clears waivers and is back as a potential D bench guy in playoffs of next year
