The comp in the article is to Mark Teixeira, which may be due to the fact that he is pigeon-holed as a 1B-DH type who switch-hits. If his bat produces anything near Teixeira like production, the Rays would take that right now. These bats have to start paying off for the Rays who need the help at the major league level very quickly.
