Initial Take:
A 22-year old senior with good on base skills, this could be a cost saver pick. Not a ton of power or speed so I'm betting this is a cost saver pick.
That particular combination has been very common in corner outfielders, 1B, and DH. Some guys who hit 25 HRs for the Orioles and meet the passable avg/below avg defender include:
Larry Sheets
Don Baylor
Jay Gibbons
Mike Young
Nelson Cruz
Mark Trumbo
Trey Mancini
Bobby Bonilla
Luke Scott
Armas did not walk often (4.7% career walk rate) and Kjerstad should be a guy who walks significantly more as he demonstrates MLB power (I think he could be 8-11%).
I'd hate to see that. He's been a purveyor of ineptitude and disappointing finishes since he's taken that job, it'd be a shame to see them make a move.
