Tobin to Baltimore

Chris Tobin is a former league MVP (1973), a 5-time All-Star and 5-time Silver Slugger award winner. He possesses great speed and strong all-around hitting skills, including plus power. On the other hand, he's 30 years old, not a great base runner, and no longer has the defensive range to be anything more than an average shortstop. Oh, and he's something of a jerk. He's also coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, his 2.5 WAR his second lowest season total yet.

Now, on the third hand, he is super durable (Iron Man) and if he was shifted to say, third base, he could once again be a valuable defender.
So will this be a good signing for the Baltimore Lords? Hard to say. Would I have given this guy a pretty generous 5-year deal. No, I wouldn't have.
