Hopefully Better Than Cox?

Pinned on GBC Star"Amin has been a steady hand with Buenos Ares for fours seasons," Green said. "He's the right guy at the right time for us."
At 25, Abdul-halim will bring four seasons of professional baseball to the club. Insiders suggest that, as a switch hitter, his bat has looked solid enough for a center fielder (averaged 100 OPS+ the past two seasons), and his sure-handed glove should play adequately in the BBA. He's averaged 4.1 WAR "We'll have our coaches take a look next week or so," Green said, fueling speculation that there might be some thought to send Abdul-halim to Pain Island for a short check-up.
The deal will pay the GBC star $5.2M next season, $4.5M in 2064, and $4M in 2065. The final season is also for $4M, but will only be executed if both parties agree. The signing was predicated on the fact that the position has been vacant since the trade of Mike Cox, and concerns that 20-year-old minor league prospect Ramon Sanz, who was sidelined with a strained triceps late last season, may not be prepared to handle the defensive side of the position. "It's always good to have options at these key defensive positions," Green said.
"I'm excited to play at the top level," Abdul-halim said in a phone interview. "I know Forever Park is amazing, so I can't wait to get there."
