I don't think he's that much of an upgrade over Feliz, but he should break up our heavy lefty lineup a little bit and get on base without changing J-Roll's free-swinging ways.

He can also play 2nd if something were to happen to Chase, and could give Chase a rest when needed.
Plus he takes pitches.
