seems like a low risk move, probably not as good as Alford in center but is there any way his bat can be worse?

Alford looked mystified standing in the batters box.
Not much of a real look this season - about 20 ab's - but he wasn't showing any signs of improving soon.
Hope that Ka-al Tom is an upgrade. The team sure could use somene in CF who can add some production.

Don't hold your breath with this guy. BC is now into dumpster diving the Rule 5 guys.

Surprise, though, that he let Alford go. What is known about Ka ai Tom?

He's from Honolulu and his first name is "Blaze." That's a guy you wanna keep your eye on.

In my opinion he can’t be any worse than Alford or Fowler. Maybe he is one of those players who becomes better later in his career. He is worth the risk.

We would be hard pressed to find anyone worse than Fowler and Alford. I agree he's worth the chance. I say put him in CF everyday for the next month and see what happens.
